Cancún International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún) (IATA: CUN, ICAO: MMUN) is Mexico’s second busiest airport and the busiest in the country and Latin America for international passengers. Located in the Cancún Metropolitan Area in Quintana Roo, it serves as the primary gateway to the Mexican Caribbean, Riviera Maya, and Yucatán Peninsula, offering flights to over 100 cities across the Americas and Europe.

While it serves as a hub for Viva and a focus city for Volaris and Magnicharters, Cancún Airport primarily functions as a major destination for most U.S. and Canadian mainline airlines, serving routes from all their hubs and focus cities, and making it the non-U.S. airport with the most U.S. destinations.[2]

Operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR), the airport also handles general and executive aviation, flight training, and international charter services. It is the easternmost airport in Mexico, with Cozumel and Tulum airports serving as alternative options in the Cancún area. In 2023, the airport handled approximately 32.75 million passengers, with a slight decrease to 30.6 million in 2024, of which 20.1 million were international passengers.[3][1]

History

Early operations

AeroMexico DC-10-15 at CUN

Cancún's initial airport was established in 1942 as a strategic move to support the region's primary industry at the time: the chewing gum. This early airport operated on a rudimentary runway, featuring a control tower constructed from wood and reeds that remained in operation until 1973. To commemorate its history, a replica stands near the city's entrance, close to its original location.[4]

In the early 1970s, Cancun emerged as a major tourist destination following a deliberate effort by the Mexican government, in collaboration with the National Tourism Development Fund (Spanish: Fondo Nacional de Fomento al Turismo FONATUR). Recognizing its strategic location near pristine beaches, natural landscapes, and archaeological sites, the comprehensive plan aimed to transform Cancun from a sparsely inhabited area into a major international tourist destination. Substantial investments in infrastructure were made, including the construction of the new Cancun International Airport, designed and built by Henro y Asociados in collaboration with the Department of Infrastructure. The airport's inaugural commercial flight occurred on May 12, 1975, prompting an immediate increase in international traffic.

Throughout its history, Cancun Airport has served as a base for multiple carriers over the years. It served as a hub for Mexicana, Interjet, and Aladia in their operational years, facilitating both domestic and international connections. The defunct charter airline Aerocancun also provided charter flights to the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. MAYAir, established in 1994 initially as a charter airline, expanded its routes from Cancun to various destinations in the Yucatán Peninsula.

Privatization and expansion

Magnicharters Boeing 737-222 at CUN

In 1995, Mexico embarked on a significant airport privatization initiative through the 'Ley de Aeropuertos' (Airports Law) introduced by the Department of Infrastructure. This marked a pivotal moment for Cancun Airport, integrating it into the Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR).

Until the early 2000s, Cancun Airport operated with two terminals. A major transformation began in 2005 when ASUR invested US$150 million in constructing Terminal 3, officially inaugurated in 2007.[5] Key additions, including a new runway and then Latin America's tallest control tower at 97 meters, were unveiled in October 2009, effectively doubling the airport's passenger handling capacity.[6] On November 27, 2013, Cancun Airport achieved another milestone, becoming the first in Mexico to welcome the Airbus A380, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Air France and the 15th anniversary of ASUR.

The expansion continued with an expansion of Terminal 2 in 2014 and a significant 76,000 square metres (820,000 sq ft) expansion of Terminal 3 in 2016, introducing six gates and additional commercial areas.[7] This expansion raised annual passenger capacity from 6 million to 10 million. In response to the overcrowding and surging demand, Terminal 4 was inaugurated in October 2017.

Despite challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, Mexican authorities kept borders open for tourism, making Cancún one of the few international destinations to remain accessible. In 2023, a Tren Maya station was inaugurated adjacent to the airport as part of a federal rail project.[8][9] In parallel, ASUR initiated the second phase of Terminal 4’s expansion, which includes new passenger areas, apron extensions, and a new supplementary 24 metres (79 ft) tall control tower. ASUR expects the expanded terminal to be fully operational by 2026.[10] In early 2025, ASUR also began construction on a comprehensive revival of Terminal 1, which had remained closed since the mid-2010s.[11]

The airport is located in the Cancún urban area, less than 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southwest of the city’s main hotel zone, at an elevation of 6 metres (20 ft) above sea level. It can accommodate large aircraft such as the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380, and features two parallel operational runways that can be used simultaneously: Runway 12R/30L is 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) long, while Runway 12L/30R spans 2,800 metres (9,200 ft).

Cancún Airport comprises four passenger terminals—more than any other airport in Mexico—and an FBO terminal. Additional facilities include long- and short-term parking, on-site hotels, a variety of restaurants, rental car services, and installations for the Mexican Air Navigation Services (Spanish: Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano, SENEAM).

Ground transportation

Air Margaritaville bar stand at the ground transportation facility, Terminal 3

The primary mode of transportation to and from the airport is by road. Most travelers pre-arrange ground transport, as local taxis cannot pick up passengers directly at the airport. Official airport taxis operate at premium rates, and many travelers avoid them in favor of pre-booked shuttles or private services. Large short- and long-term parking facilities are available at all terminals.

Local shuttles

Each terminal includes numbered shuttle platforms and adjacent snack kiosks. These facilities are serviced by various companies offering transportation to and from hotels, with most services offering online booking in advance.

Long-distance bus

ADO bus platforms at Terminal 2

ADO, the primary long-distance bus carrier in southeastern Mexico, serves various destinations, including Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Mérida (with stops at Altabrisa station and Paseo 60 station). It also connects with Cozumel and Chiquilá via coordinated bus and ferry services.

ADO buses stop at all terminals and travel directly to the ADO Bus stations in the specified towns without stopping at hotels or along the route. Coaches seat 44 passengers and include air conditioning and onboard screens.

At Terminal 4, ADO bus tickets are available at rates significantly higher than at other terminals—up to five times more as of 2023. Travelers may find lower fares by purchasing online or boarding at other terminals. The bus stop is located past the ground transportation facility.

Tren Maya Caucún train station

Train

Cancún Airport railway station is located across Federal Highway 180 from Cancún International Airport. The station features nine platforms. It handles services along both the western route, connecting to destinations such as Chichén Itzá, Mérida, and Campeche, and the southern route, which includes stops at Tulum, Tulum Airport, and Chetumal Airport. Trains are scheduled to operate at least every 2 hours along these routes. The Conexión Intermodal Tren Maya is a shuttle bus system linking the airport’s four terminals to the railway station.[77]

Accidents and incidents

  • On December 26, 1980, a British Aerospace 125 operated by Servicios Aereos Regiomontanos (SARSA) descended into trees on climbout and crashed one kilometer from the airport. All three occupants were killed.[78]
  • On March 15, 1984, Aerocozumel Flight 261 crashed soon after takeoff. No one died in the crash, but one passenger died of a heart attack while evacuating the swampy crash scene.[79]
  • On September 9, 2009, Mexico City-bound Aeroméxico Flight 576 was hijacked after take off. The hijackers were Bolivians who wanted to speak to the President. The plane landed safely in Mexico City, all hostages were released, and the hijackers were arrested.[80]

Accolades

  • 2011 – Best Airport in Latin America – Caribbean of the Airport Service Quality Awards by Airports Council International[81] and 2nd Best Airport by Size in the 5 to 15 million passenger category[82]
