The president of the Association of Cozumel Hotels, Gaston Cantarell Diaz, and manager of the same, Isauro Cruz Lara, reported that although there will be a drop in the number of flight arrivals in the next few months, important negotiations were conducted in a coordinated effort between the state government, the hotel group and the airline to improve tourism to Cozumel. The Miami-Cozumel connection resulted from these negotiations.

Mr. Cantarell Diaz explained that those flights will start November 21, using a Boeing 737-800 that has a capacity for 150 people, including 16 first class seats. The service will be provided for five days a week, at a time convenient for users of both the European and American markets. There will be no service Mondays and Wednesdays.
