Delta Air Lines has issued travel waivers for flights to Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara in Mexico after the reported killing of Jalisco cartel leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho.” The waivers were issued due to increased tensions and reported attacks, including roadblocks with burning vehicles and incidents at the Puerto Vallarta airport. Other airlines like Air Canada, United, American, and Alaska Airlines have also canceled or diverted flights, and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico advised citizens in the area to shelter in place.
