PVR Puerto Vallarta

How deep the PVR board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from PVR. This reads the same 35 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, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 26of the 35 destinations are flown by one airline
• 21destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 34.3%of the destinations name Volaris, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at PVR

14 airlines appear on the PVR board and they do not hold it evenly. Volaris is on 12 of the 35 destinations, 34.3 per cent of them, and on 7 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 25.6 of the 41.7 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 VivaAerobus on 6 destinations. 5 of the 14 airlines at PVR 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.

That is a middling concentration at PVR: one airline on 34.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 65.7 per cent spread across 13 airlines. A cancellation inside the Volaris network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 23 destinations Volaris does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the PVR board is daily

Of the 35 destinations, 14 are flown at least once a day and 21 are not, 9 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the PVR board is flown 4 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: PVR to Tucson (TUS) 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 20.6 of the 41.7 departures a day, 49.3 per cent of the whole board. With 60 per cent of the 35 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 PVR 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. 9 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from PVR

The desk holds the return direction for 25 of the 35 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into PVR runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Mexico City (MEX) at 8.7 out a day against 5.3 back.

It runs the other way as well: Mexico City (NLU) files 2.9 a day back into PVR against 0.57 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at PVR

PVR 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 PVR, 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.

The night at PVR

1 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Tokyo (NRT) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from PVR that lands inside it leaves around 18:37, on a modelled block of 13h 23m. Those one departure times out of PVR are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where PVR 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 8 airport pair pages that start or end at PVR, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Puerto Vallarta to Mexico City (MEX), Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara (GDL) and Puerto Vallarta to Monterrey (MTY).

Three courier postings name PVR as the airport a courier here flies from: Tepic, Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with PVR already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 35 destinations above.
