The route operates four times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The aircraft features a 186-seat economy class configuration, providing a weekly capacity of 744 seats to meet the growing travel demand between the two cities. Based on estimates, this route is expected to transport over 35,000 tourists annually from Puebla to Los Cabos.

In terms of flight schedules, the departure from Puebla takes off at 1:25 PM and arrives in Los Cabos at 2:30 PM; the return flight departs Los Cabos at 3:15 PM and arrives in Puebla at 6:24 PM. The flight time between the two cities is reduced to approximately two hours, enabling efficient connectivity.

Rodrigo Esponda, General Director of the Los Cabos Tourism Trust (Fideicomiso de Turismo de Los Cabos), stated that the new route strengthens Los Cabos' air connectivity strategy and consolidates the destination's sustained growth in recent years. He noted that by adding this route, Los Cabos has taken another step forward in diversifying its domestic market and increasing seat capacity, which has grown by 42% over the past five years. He added that nine years ago, Los Cabos had only eight domestic routes, but now that number has increased to 17, reflecting the results of joint efforts with airlines like Volaris to promote destination development.

Since 2007, the route between Los Cabos and Puebla has been active in the domestic air travel market. As of April 2026, the route has transported a cumulative total of 11,027,772 passengers, highlighting the importance of the Puebla market to Los Cabos.

The launch of this new route is part of the strategic expansion of air connectivity for the Los Cabos destination. Through Volaris, Los Cabos currently operates eight domestic routes, with destinations including Bajío, Guadalajara, Tijuana, Mexicali, Culiacán, Toluca, Santa Lucía (AIFA), and Mexico City.

Holger Blankenstein, Executive Vice President of Operations and Commercial at Volaris, stated that the launch of the Los Cabos-Puebla route is part of the airline's strategy to continue strengthening domestic connectivity in Mexico and make key tourist destinations in the country more accessible. He added that with these four new weekly flights, access to one of the main Pacific tourist destinations has become more convenient, while responding to the growing travel demand between central Mexico and Los Cabos, offering customers affordable and efficient options.
