Cancún International Airport

Cancún International is Mexico's second-busiest airport and the busiest leisure airport in Latin America, handling roughly 32.8M passengers (2024) — a throughput built almost entirely on inbound tourism to the Yucatán Riviera. It is the single largest international entry point to Mexico by foreign arrivals, outpacing even Mexico City, and the busiest Latin American airport for U.S.-originating traffic. The airport is operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR) and sits 22 km (14 mi) south of Cancún's hotel zone. CUN has no hub carrier in the traditional sense; instead it functions as a point-to-point magnet for nearly every major airline in the Americas — American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, Frontier, Alaska, Air Canada, WestJet, Aeroméxico, Viva Aerobus, Volaris — plus transatlantic service from British Airways, Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, Condor, Edelweiss, and TUI. The network reaches 139 destinations across 70 airlines, tied to the largest origin-and-destination U.S.-Mexico market in aviation. Four terminals (T2, T3, T4 passenger plus a dedicated private aviation FBO) handle traffic across two parallel runways of 11,483 ft (3,500 m) and 9,186 ft (2,800 m). Terminal 4, opened in 2017 at 74,000 sqm (797,000 sqft) with 26 gates, is the largest in Mexico by floor area and handles most long-haul and U.S. network carrier operations. Seasonal peak Saturdays regularly see more than 600 commercial movements, and CUN is frequently the second- or third-most-scheduled international route from numerous U.S. cities after Toronto and London.
