Guadalajara – Los Cabos – Loreto

There is new air connectivity in the Baja Peninsula

“This connectivity responds to the increase on the tourism demand for the magical place that was in the past the first capital of the Californias, Loreto. With this, it is expected to attract more tourists from abroad as well as nationals from Mexico. They will be able to discover the richness, cultural, gastronomic and adventure experience this zone has to offer to the world. This provides to the entire state a meaningful projection in the international and national Tourism Market”. The Secretary of Tourism, Economy and Sustainability (SETUES), Luis Genaro Ruiz Hernandez pronounced these words.

Nowadays, Loreto has a population of 17,000 people; it has an offer of 1500 rooms in a variety of hotels and resorts for every budget and taste. There is an international airport, a beautiful marina and a marvelous and stunning rebuilt marina boardwalk where you can appreciate the Coronado Island. This magical town still keeps its historical building, the “Mission, Our Lady of Loreto”, regarding visits, this one is a must.

The airplane is a Brazilian made Embraer 145 with capacity for 50 passengers and a frequency of two flights per week, Tuesdays and Saturdays; the airline offers this new option to the tourism, since their CVF-460 flight ends up in Tijuana.

Jesus Ordoñez, Director of FITUES, explained about the interest of the state government to promote the magical town of Loreto, in both markets, national and international, so eventually this will evolve into a better-positioned resort town. Aldo Leyva Montes, Commercial Manager of Aerocalafia commented the millionaire investment of the company to make possible the opening of this route, the purchase of two Embraer 145 airplanes that will provide 10,000 seats yearly for Loreto.
