Tickets to Fly


Three or four years ago, passengers wishing to fly to Mexico from San Antonio had to change planes in Houston. Then Aeroméxico arrived and 2,400 seats were available every week. Now, with Interjet and Vivaerobus competing, some 7,000 seats are available every week. Does this mean prices will be falling? On a more somber note, international air traffic to Acapulco declined 65 percent during the first quarter of this year. La Paz also saw a 28 percent decline. Up was international traffic to Morelia (77 percent), Aguascalientes (72 percent) and Zacatecas (65 percent).
