Coahuila Governor Manolo Jiménez Salinas announced plans to expand air connectivity at the Plan de Guadalupe International Airport in Ramos Arizpe. A new flight to Guadalajara is expected to launch in December, with the state exploring further destinations such as Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, and Los Cabos.

Jiménez noted that current flights are seeing high occupancy rates, with an estimated 20% to 30% of passengers originating from the neighboring state of Nuevo León. The expansion is supported by an alliance between the state government and airline partners to invest in regional aviation infrastructure.
