Flights between Canada and Mexican resort communities on the west coast have begun again after a massive hurricane disrupted travel this weekend.

A Sunwing flight left Pearson at 6:15am Sunday morning for Cancun while a Westjet flight departed for Puerto Vallarta at 8:07am.

The threat of hurricane Patricia prompted WestJet to cancel its flights to Puerto Vallarta Saturday. But the storm came ashore in a sparsely populated stretch of coast and there were no reports of damage in major populated areas.

Westjet says it will run six flights to the area Sunday and says 700 passengers have been booked.

Air Canada says its regularly scheduled flight today is also cleared to go.

Canadians in the region were prepared for the worst but three Canadians living in Puerto Vallerta say there was just a little rain on Friday and the sunshine was back Saturday.

Westjet begins seasonal departures from Hamilton International Airport to Cancun in November while Air Transat begin departures to Cancun in December.
