In Puerto Vallarta, some flights were disrupted due to crew vacancies. The U.S. Embassy said it was in close contact with the airline to monitor developments.

“All other airports in Mexico are open and most are operating normally. If you are passing through any airport other than Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta, we have not received any indication of security-related flight disruptions. Please contact your airline to confirm your flight status and schedule,” the alert said.

“Some (but not all) scheduled flights depart from Guadalajara; if your flight to the United States is canceled, you may be able to book a connecting flight through another Mexican city.”

Mexican Defense Secretary Ricardo Trevilla said authorities tracked a lover of Oseguera Cervantes to a hideout in Tapalpa.

Oseguera Cervantes and two bodyguards fled into a wooded area and were seriously wounded in the crossfire. They were detained but died en route to Mexico City.
