Parents and children recount horror of San Bernardino school shooting
SAN BERNARDINO >> For the first time since it was decommissioned as a military airport more than 20 years ago, san bernardino international airport is selling tickets for international commercial flights.
Volaris, an ultra-low cost Mexican carrier, announced Monday that tickets are available for flights to and from Guadalajara, Mexico.
Starting June 29, the flights will be Mondays and Thursdays, starting at $99 including taxes one way, according to Volaris.
One set of flights will depart from Guadalajara at 3:41 p.m. and arrive in San Bernardino at 5 p.m.
A second set will depart from San Bernardino at 6:15 p.m. and arrive in Guadalajara at 11:25 p.m.
The announcement was one of two new routes Volaris announced Monday, along with twice-weekly flights between Oaxaca and Los Angeles.
The launch of these new routes strengthens our presence in the Greater Los Angeles Area and provides our customers with additional options for visiting relatives, business travel and leisure, said Holger Blankenstein, chief commercial officer of Volaris, in a news release. We strive to combine affordable fares with routes that previously featured no scheduled air service. These additions help us achieve our goal of increasing connectivity between Mexico and the U.S.
In 2014, Volaris announced that it would fly between Ontario International Airport and Guadalajara, putting it in competition with AeroMexicos flights to the same destination.
Those flights are still listed on the Volaris website as being available for $99.
While commercial flights have been an elusive goal, San Bernardino has seen substantial increases in other areas in recent years.
Airport officials say the number of aircraft operating daily doubled from 2013 to 2016 to 48,000 and so far this year is 20 percent above that.
