Some international flights to Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara were disrupted or rescheduled, though airports remain open and others (Baja California, Quintana Roo, Oaxaca) reported normal operations as authorities coordinate with security forces. Airlines have waived change fees in some cases, and travelers should stay alert and follow local guidance, as the situation can evolve.
