Hurricane Simon cancels Sunday flights at Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo

Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is scheduled to reopen at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12, local time. Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP) says flights scheduled after 5 p.m. Saturday and all Sunday services at PVR have been canceled. Manzanillo’s airport (ZLO) is scheduled to reopen at 8 a.m. Sunday for general aviation and Mexican Navy operations, weather permitting. Airlines have canceled all scheduled commercial flights there for Sunday. GAP says reopening and operations depend on weather and safety inspections. It advises passengers to contact their airline and avoid going to the terminals during closures. The National Hurricane Center’s 9 p.m. CST Saturday advisory placed Hurricane Simon about 65 miles (105 km) south-southwest of Manzanillo, with sustained winds of 155 mph (250 km/h), moving north. The NOAA forecast graphic below is from that advisory; conditions and airport operations can change. This is a travel update to our earlier [storm briefing](https://www.mushimu.com/post/8896).
