Viva Aerobus adds new flights from Houston's IAH to Mexico ahead of holiday season

Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) will soon begin offering more flights to Mexico, thanks to Viva Aerobus.

The Mexican carrier will add year-round services to Queretaro, Mexico, as well as increase the number of flights on four existing routes. Viva Aerobus' expanded service will help continue to strengthen the ties between Houston and Mexico, Mario Diaz, director of aviation for Houston Airports, said in a recent statement.

The new nonstop flight to Queretaro, which begins on Dec. 2, will be offered four days per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Queretaro be the airline's fifth nonstop connection from IAH to Mexico.

Also starting in December, Viva Aerobus will increase the number of flights it offers from Houston to four of its popular destinations:

-IAH-Leon/Bajio will increase from four flights per week to five flights per week.

-IAH-Guadalajara will increase from four flights per week to daily service.

-IAH-Mexico City will increase from six flights per week to daily service. IAH is the only U.S. airport that has a direct flight to Mexico City's new Felipe Angeles International Airport, according to Houston Airports.

-IAH-Monterrey will increase from 13 flights per week to 19 flights per week.

“As a primary gateway to Latin America, it’s imperative that Houston Airports continue to support the strengthening of the economic ties between Houston and Mexico,” Željka Momirovic, director of the air service development for Houston Airports, said in a statement.
