Cartel Clashes Prompt Flight Cancellations And Travel Warnings

Violence sparked by the death of a prominent drug cartel leader has disrupted flights at Puerto Vallarta International Airport and Guadalajara International Airport in Mexico. Several airlines, including American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, have cancelled flights due to security concerns. Despite claims from airport operators that internal operations are unaffected, travel warnings have been issued by the US, Canada, and other countries. The situation is part of a broader outburst of cartel-linked violence across the state of Jalisco. According to AeroTime, the violence has prompted airlines to reassess their operations in the region.
