Upon approval from the DOT, Mexican airline Volaris will schedule a new route to PVR from LAX.

To accommodate the new flights and record-high influx of tourists, the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board announced that airport, local and national authorities had approved an $8 million budget to renovate the immigration and customs areas of the airport.
