In this sense, the GAP indicated that in 2019, during this same period, air operations were 1,170, which represents 142,847 passengers, so the percentage increase between that year and this one, in flights is 6 % and tourists 18%.
It is important to mention that the flights are both national and international; some are arriving at the destination, while Canadian tourism, for example, is already returning home. But due to the San Marcos Fair in Aguascalientes, the influx of domestic tourism will continue to arrive at the port.
