Few passengers at Mazatlan airport due to coronavirus alert

Sales in local establishments have been affected by the lack of visitors

Mazatlán, Sinaloa .- The influx of passengers at the Rafael Buelna International Airport has decreased considerably due to the cancellation of flights due to the health alert generated by the Covid-19.

The workers at the airport explained that despite the fact that some flights appeared full when boarding people did not show up mainly due to fear of contagion.

Therefore, airlines are forced to cancel flights, since it is not profitable to travel with only 10 passengers.
