About Cancun International Airport

Cancun International Airport

Cancun International Airport

Cancún International Airport is Mexico’s second busiest airport and the largest 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 from all their hubs and focus cities, making it the airport outside the U.S. with the most destinations served in the United States.

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.
