One connection away
484 airports are reachable from AGU with exactly one change, on top of the 11 nonstop. The ten below are the ones with the most frequency on the weaker of the two sectors, which is the leg that decides whether a same day connection holds. Computed from the scheduled network, not from a booking engine.

How deep the AGU board really is
The table above says where a courier can fly from AGU. This reads the same 11 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.
- 11of the 11 destinations are flown by one airline
- 6destinations run less than once a day
- 1destination has four or more departures a day
- 54.5%of the destinations name Volaris, the largest presence here
Who holds the departures at AGU
Six airlines appear on the AGU board and they do not hold it evenly. Volaris is on 6 of the 11 destinations, 54.5 per cent of them, and on 6 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 4.7 of the 15.7 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.
The next largest presence is Aeromexico on 1 destinations. 5 of the 6 airlines at AGU appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.
An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 6 of the 11 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an AGU sector is usually another Volaris aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at AGU than the destination count does.
How much of the AGU board is daily
Of the 11 destinations, 5 are flown at least once a day and 6 are not, though none of them drops to once a week or less. The median destination on the AGU board is flown 5 times a week.
An average of 0.57 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: AGU to Puerto Vallarta (PVR) is 4 a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.
The five busiest destinations carry 12 of the 15.7 departures a day, 76.4 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves AGU is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.
| Destination | Country | The only airline on it | Flights a week | km | Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cancún CUN | Mexico | Volaris | 4 | 1,600 | plan this |
| Chicago MDW | the United States | Volaris | 4 | 2,615 | plan this |
| Puebla City PBC | Mexico | Volaris | 4 | 500 | plan this |
| Puerto Vallarta PVR | Mexico | Volaris | 4 | 325 | plan this |
| Dallas-Fort Worth DFW | the United States | American Airlines | 5 | 1,348 | plan this |
| Los Angeles LAX | the United States | Volaris | 5 | 2,081 | plan this |
The six destinations out of AGU where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.
The way back from AGU
The desk holds the return direction for 11 of the 11 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 11 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through AGU is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.
It runs the other way as well: Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) files 2.6 a day back into AGU against 0.71 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.
The clock at AGU
AGU keeps America/Mexico_City time, ten hours behind Dubai all year.
When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 23:00 at AGU, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.
Where AGU turns up on the rest of this site
The airport also sits behind the Mexico country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.
One of the 346 published hand carry lanes runs through this airport: Tokyo to Aguascalientes. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at AGU written out.
Six courier postings name AGU as the airport a courier here flies from: León de los Aldama, Aguascalientes and Guadalupe.
To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with AGU already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 11 destinations above.
Where this came from
- Destination network, airlines and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07.
- Airport names and coordinates: the OnBoard Courier airport reference list.
- Distances: great circle, computed from those coordinates. They are not flown distances and will read short against a real routing.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing on this page states or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment through AGU is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. We keep the Atlas because our own desk needs it when there are twenty minutes to find a routing, and we publish it because a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite, including by competing operators. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct the entry.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes. If you fly often and want to carry, we are recruiting couriers.
