Cancun, Q.R. — Viva Aerobus has started a new direct flight between the seaside cities of Acapulco and Cancun. The first first landed at Cancun International Tuesday from the state of Guerrero.
Governor Mara Lezama led the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the start of the new direct flight between Cancun and Acapulco operated by Viva Aerobus. The direct flights fly on Tuesdays and Saturdays and will allow travel between both destinations without stops.
With these new frequencies, the number of weekly flights between both destinations is increased to four, as the Thursday and Sunday services, which make a stop at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA), are maintained, Lezama pointed out.
Accompanied by authorities from the tourism and airport sectors, as well as representatives from Viva Aerobus, the Governor highlighted that having more flights allows attracting visitors, boosting the economy and generating new opportunities for development and well-being for families.
“This direct route opens up the opportunity for our brothers and sisters from Guerrero to go home and visit their families. We have a large community of people from Guerrero in the state,” she said, acknowledging the commitment of Viva Aerobus, an allied company of Quintana Roo.
The Governor emphasized that these new flights also represent an opportunity for more tourists from Guerrero to discover the attractions of the Mexican Caribbean and for families from Quintana Roo to travel more easily to Acapulco, one of the most emblematic tourist destinations in the country.
The flights will be operated by Viva Aerobus with Airbus A320 aircraft with a capacity for 186 passengers, which will allow for expanded travel options between both destinations and promote tourist, cultural and economic exchange.
The importance of this new air service is reflected in the dynamism of the Cancun International Airport, which during 2025. Last year, the airport recorded 29.3 million passengers of which 19.4 million were international and 9.8 million domestic passengers.
With the addition of these two direct flights, the Mexican Caribbean continues to expand its travel options within the national territory, bringing destinations closer together, strengthening tourism and facilitating the movement of thousands of families who maintain ties between Quintana Roo and Guerrero.
