The Indianapolis Airport Authority, in a release reproduced by Airport Improvement dated 2026-10-06, announced Southwest Airlines will operate daily nonstop service between Indianapolis (IND) and Cancún beginning June 3, 2027. The release also said Southwest will resume a Saturday-only nonstop to Myrtle Beach in June 2027 (its first since 2021) and will return its Saturday nonstop to San Juan for Spring Break 2027 and through the full summer season.

WHY IT MATTERS

This announcement means travelers in the Indianapolis area will have scheduled Southwest flights to Cancún every day of the week during the carrier's 2027 summer schedule, starting June 3, 2027, according to the release. A daily schedule means a departure option on each calendar day during the advertised period rather than only selected days.

The Myrtle Beach note specifies a Saturday-only reinstatement in June 2027; that is a limited, weekend-focused service pattern rather than a full-week restoration. The San Juan service is described as a seasonal Saturday nonstop returning for Spring Break 2027 and continuing through the summer, which the release treats as a temporary seasonal schedule rather than a year-round route.

Next steps to follow: the announcement date was 2026-10-06, and the airport release reproduced by Airport Improvement is the source for these schedule plans. Travelers and businesses should watch Southwest and the Indianapolis Airport Authority for confirmed schedules, flight times and booking details tied to the announced June 2027 service changes.
