More flights


Mazatlan may have lost cruise ship visits, but American Airlines´ American Eagle has announced it will start flying to the Pacific port in June from Dallas. AA also plans a route to Morelia. Using smaller aircraft, American serves several destinations in Mexico from DFW as does Continental from Houston and Delta from Atlanta. Spirit has applied to commence service from Fresno. Low-fare Mexican carrier Volaris has been expanding its U.S. route structure, too, and now serves Fresno, Oakland, Las Vegas and Chicago (Midway). No word yet in whether Mexicana Airlines will ever return to the skies.
