Airport contact
Brand-new airport (opened December 1, 2023, built by the Mexican Army) serving as the air gateway to Tulum and the southern Riviera Maya, designed for up to 5.5M passengers/year; domestic service runs via Aeroméxico, Viva Aerobus and Mexicana (Tulum is a Mexicana secondary base, linked to AIFA/Mexico City), while American, Delta and United serve it from the US and Air Canada/WestJet offer reduced Canadian service — international route counts have contracted sharply since 2024 amid a broader Tulum tourism slowdown. An on-site Tren Maya station connects the airport to the regional rail network.
