Aeroméxico cut international flights from Guadalajara to Northern California and Chicago, starting August 17, 2026 and lasting until December 16, 2026. Passengers are entitled to rebooking or refund options. For water bill discounts, 80% reductions apply to 203 neighborhoods in the Guadalajara metro area due to poor water quality, starting August 17, 2026.
Popular neighborhoods like Ladrón de Guevara, Santa Teresita, and Providencia are eligible. To claim the discount, residents must be up-to-date on payments and use up to 25 cubic meters of water per month. Jalisco tequila exports, representing 95% of Mexico's production, saw a 3.4% increase in the first half of 2026, reaching 215 million liters.
This growth comes after a slump in demand for premium tequila in the U.S., which had previously driven exports to surge.
