As a result of the damage caused by Hurricane Milton, Volaris , Viva Aerobus and Aeroméxico  reported that they have cancelled their operations to the Mérida International Airport.

Volaris has so far cancelled eight flights to the capital of Yucatan from Mexico City International Airport, Felipe Ángeles Airport (AIFA) and Guadalajara.

“Due to the passage of Hurricane Milton, we have had impacts on our operations to and from the Mérida International Airport. For us, your safety will always be the most important thing, which is why we will resume operations until conditions allow it,” Volaris informed through its social networks.

Aeromexico also reported that six flights to that destination have been cancelled and activated its passenger protection policy.

After the probable impact, he explained, the center of the system is expected to move along the coast of Yucatan to the north of Quintana Roo, where it could change direction to the northeast, and by Wednesday head towards Florida, United States.

The effects of this system on the Yucatan Peninsula will be intense winds of 180 to 200 km/h, waves of 6 to 8 meters high and intense to torrential rains and possible waterspouts. In addition, he said, its cloud bands will leave torrential rains of 200 to 250 millimeters (mm) in Campeche and Yucatan, and 150 to 200 mm in Quintana Roo, as well as heavy rains in Tabasco.

For the above reasons, a hurricane prevention zone is maintained from Celestún to Río Lagartos, Yucatán; a hurricane surveillance zone from Río Lagartos to Cabo Catoche, Yucatán, and from Campeche, Campeche, to Celestún, Yucatán. As well as a tropical storm prevention zone from Río Lagartos, Yucatán, to Cancún, Quintana Roo.
