Puerto Vallarta International Airport was pretty busy this year.
The Airport Group of the Pacific (GAP) reported that the Puerto Vallarta International Airport received about 4.76 million visitors in 2018. This is a growth of 5.3 percent since 2017.
Among flights, 66 percent of the traffic was international and 34 percent was domestic, proving that Puerto Vallarta is becoming a highly popular destination for international travelers.
This is no surprise as a route recently opened between Puerto Vallarta and Panama, and the airport now has routes from London and Manchester, England.
During the winter season, the Puerto Vallarta International Airport will serve 53 routes, 41 of which are international and only 12 that are domestic.
Just as impressive is how much the airport has grown since 2009. The airport went from 36 routes in 2009 to 53 in 2018-2019. That's an 80 percent growth in traffic over the last 9 years, or 9 percent per year.
So, what are you waiting on? It looks like the party is in Puerto Vallarta.
