Air Canada Halts Flights to Puerto Vallarta Amid Security Concerns

Canada’s flagship airline announced Sunday it has temporarily halted all flights to the popular Mexican resort city of Puerto Vallarta due to continuing security concerns in the region.

The decision by Air Canada comes amid reports that Mexican military forces conducted an operation that reportedly resulted in the death of notorious cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera, who goes by the alias “El Mencho.”

The airline has not specified how long the flight suspension will remain in effect, citing the fluid nature of the security situation in the coastal tourist destination.
