SJD Los Cabos

How deep the SJD board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SJD. This reads the same 38 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.

• 25of the 38 destinations are flown by one airline
• 20destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 23.7%of the destinations name VivaAerobus, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SJD

17 airlines appear on the SJD board and they do not hold it evenly. VivaAerobus is on 9 of the 38 destinations, 23.7 per cent of them, and on 4 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 16.4 of the 51.4 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 Volaris on 8 destinations. 8 of the 17 airlines at SJD 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.

No airline holds more than 23.7 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 25 of the 38 sectors at SJD do not.

How much of the SJD board is daily

Of the 38 destinations, 18 are flown at least once a day and 20 are not, 6 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the SJD board is flown 6 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: SJD to Van Nuys (VNY) 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 20.3 of the 51.4 departures a day, 39.4 per cent of the whole board. With 52.6 per cent of the 38 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of SJD 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. 8 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from SJD

The desk holds the return direction for 27 of the 38 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 27 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through SJD is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Mexico City (NLU) files 2.6 a day back into SJD against 1.9 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at SJD

SJD keeps America/Mazatlan time, eleven hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 22:00 at SJD, 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 SJD 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 7 airport pair pages that start or end at SJD, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Los Cabos to Mexico City (MEX), Los Cabos to Tijuana (TIJ) and Los Cabos to Guadalajara (GDL).

Three courier postings name SJD as the airport a courier here flies from: La Paz, Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SJD already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 38 destinations above.
