Two Canadian airlines are resuming service on Tuesday to parts of Mexico after cancelling flights over widespread violence.
WestJet says it will resume scheduled operations to and from Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara and Manzanillo.
It says the move followed a "thorough review of the current conditions" and that it will continue monitoring developments.
Air Transat says it is doing the same for flights to and from Puerto Vallarta.
The airline says that according to local authorities, no incidents related to road blockages have been reported in Jalisco state since midnight and that security measures had been reinforced.
Tourists and locals in multiple regions of Mexico were told to shelter in place to escape violence that erupted on Sunday after the death of a notorious cartel leader as part of a government operation.
