SLP San Luis Potosi

How deep the SLP board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SLP. 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.

• 8of the 11 destinations are flown by one airline
• 6destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 81.8%of the destinations name Volaris, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SLP

Six airlines appear on the SLP board and they do not hold it evenly. Volaris is on 9 of the 11 destinations, 81.8 per cent of them, and on 6 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 10.3 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 VivaAerobus on 2 destinations. 4 of the 6 airlines at SLP 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 9 of the 11 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an SLP 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 SLP than the destination count does.

How much of the SLP 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 SLP board is flown 6 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: SLP to San Antonio (SAT) 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 12 of the 15.7 departures a day, 76.4 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves SLP 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 six destinations out of SLP 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 SLP

The desk holds the return direction for 10 of the 11 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 10 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through SLP is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Tijuana (TIJ) files 1.1 a day back into SLP against 0.71 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at SLP

SLP 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 SLP, 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 SLP 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.

Four courier postings name SLP as the airport a courier here flies from: San Luis Potosí, Guadalupe and Fresnillo.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SLP 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.
