With the addition of the route, IAH will now serve as the sole U.S. destination out of the Tepic International Airport, according to the news release.
The new route operates once a week on Saturdays, with seasonal service available from mid-December to mid-August. It provides direct access to the Riviera Nayarit region, according to the news release.
Phil Griffith, United Airlines vice president of airport operations, touted the new route in the news release.
“United [Airlines] in Houston is known for, and continues to be, the gateway to Latin America,” Griffith said in the news release. “We’re proud to consistently offer impressive and unique routes out of IAH that our customers can appreciate and enjoy. Tepic and the Riviera Nayarit are a wonderful addition.”
With the addition of Tepic, United now serves 24 destinations in Mexico and 52 destinations across Latin America from IAH, the news release states.
