The route will be operated by Volaris, connecting Guatemala's La Aurora International Airport with Guadalajara International Airport in Jalisco, Mexico.
When Will the Guatemala–Guadalajara Flight Begin?
The new route is scheduled to officially begin operations on Friday, December 4, 2026.
The connection will provide travelers with a direct alternative for trips between Guatemala and Mexico. Guadalajara is one of Mexico's most important cities due to its economic, cultural, and tourism activity, making the new route relevant for business trips, vacations, and family visits.

How Much Does the Direct Flight Cost?
According to information published by Volaris, the approximate round-trip fare in the basic category is US$230 per person.
The final price may vary depending on the purchase date, travel season, and seat availability.
Travelers should also review the conditions of the fare before purchasing their tickets. The basic fare includes only one personal item and does not include carry-on luggage or checked baggage.
Passengers who need additional luggage will have to add these services during the booking process, which will increase the final cost of the trip.
Where Can Travelers Buy Tickets?
Tickets are already available through the official Volaris website. Sales began following the announcement made on Friday, August 7, several months ahead of the route's launch.
For travelers planning to visit Guadalajara from December 2026 onward, purchasing tickets in advance may provide an opportunity to find better fares and select from the available flight schedules.
