One connection away
394 airports are reachable from PBC with exactly one change, on top of the 15 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 PBC board really is
The table above says where a courier can fly from PBC. This reads the same 15 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 15 destinations are flown by one airline
- 10destinations run less than once a day
- 0destinations have four or more departures a day
- 86.7%of the destinations name Volaris, the largest presence here
Who holds the departures at PBC
Three airlines appear on the PBC board and they do not hold it evenly. Volaris is on 13 of the 15 destinations, 86.7 per cent of them, and on 9 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 14.6 of the 17.1 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 5 destinations. 1 of the 3 airlines at PBC appears on a single destination, 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 13 of the 15 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a PBC 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 PBC than the destination count does.
How much of the PBC board is daily
Of the 15 destinations, 5 are flown at least once a day and 10 are not, though none of them drops to once a week or less. The median destination on the PBC board is flown 4 times a week.
An average of 0.29 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: PBC to Silao (BJX) is 2 a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.
The five busiest destinations carry 11.9 of the 17.1 departures a day, 69.2 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves PBC 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silao BJX | Mexico | Volaris | 2 | 384 | plan this |
| Mérida MID | Mexico | VivaAerobus | 3 | 931 | plan this |
| Tuxtla Gutiérrez TGZ | Mexico | Volaris | 3 | 635 | plan this |
| Villahermosa VSA | Mexico | Volaris | 3 | 599 | plan this |
| Aguascalientes AGU | Mexico | Volaris | 4 | 499 | plan this |
| Puerto Vallarta PVR | Mexico | Volaris | 4 | 739 | plan this |
| San José del Cabo SJD | Mexico | Volaris | 4 | 1,257 | plan this |
| Santa María Huatulco HUX | Mexico | Volaris | 4 | 438 | plan this |
| Los Angeles LAX | the United States | Volaris | 5 | 2,574 | plan this |
| Newark EWR | the United States | Volaris | 5 | 3,320 | plan this |
The ten destinations out of PBC 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 PBC
The desk holds the return direction for 13 of the 15 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 13 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through PBC is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.
The clock at PBC
PBC 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 PBC, 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 PBC 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: Stuttgart to Puebla. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at PBC written out.
15 courier postings name PBC as the airport a courier here flies from: Puebla, Veracruz and Xalapa de Enríquez.
To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with PBC already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 15 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 PBC 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.
