BJX Leon and Silao

How deep the BJX board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from BJX. This reads the same 21 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.

• 15of the 21 destinations are flown by one airline
• 11destinations run less than once a day
• 4destinations have four or more departures a day
• 66.7%of the destinations name Volaris, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at BJX

Seven airlines appear on the BJX board and they do not hold it evenly. Volaris is on 14 of the 21 destinations, 66.7 per cent of them, and on 11 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 19 of the 36.1 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 VivaAerobus on 7 destinations. 4 of the 7 airlines at BJX 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 14 of the 21 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a BJX 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 BJX than the destination count does.

How much of the BJX board is daily

Of the 21 destinations, 10 are flown at least once a day and 11 are not, 1 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the BJX board is flown 5 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: BJX to Laredo (LRD) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 22.1 of the 36.1 departures a day, 61.3 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves BJX 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.

The ten destinations out of BJX 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. 1 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from BJX

The desk holds the return direction for 16 of the 21 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 16 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through BJX is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Tijuana (TIJ) files 5.6 a day back into BJX against 4.1 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at BJX

BJX 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 BJX, 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 BJX 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.

The site publishes 11 airport pair pages that start or end at BJX, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Leon and Silao to Mexico City (MEX), Leon and Silao to Monterrey (MTY) and Leon and Silao to Tijuana (TIJ).

Three of the 346 published hand carry lanes run through this airport: Detroit to Silao, Milan to Silao and Tokyo to Leon. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at BJX written out.

Twelve courier postings name BJX as the airport a courier here flies from: Santiago de Querétaro, León de los Aldama and Morelia.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with BJX already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 21 destinations above.
