"Roadblocks have impacted airline operations, with some domestic and international flights canceled in both Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta," it said. It urged citizens in Michoacan, Guerrero and Jalisco states to shelter in place, citing "shootouts with security forces and explosions." Several US and Canadian airlines cancelled flights to parts of Mexico on Sunday following the unrest. Some planes had to turn back while already en route to Mexico, several airlines said, including Southwest, which turned back four flights originally bound for Puerto Vallarta. Southwest said it would send aircraft to Mexico to repatriate its stranded passengers and staff once the situation normalizes.
