Tulum

Soon after its opening in December 2023, several airlines from the U.S., Canada, and Latin America flocked to the airport with an influx in capacity.

One of Mexico’s newest airports – Tulum – saw a large influx in air service when it opened just over a year ago in December 2023.

Ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) Spirit canceled its plans to serve Tulum’s brand-new airport starting in March 2024, citing Pratt and Whitney engine issues.

Flying under the reincarnated Mexicana brand, the new airline officially inaugurated service on December 26 from Mexico City to Tulum.

Two new North American airlines have announced plans to fly into the brand-new airport in Tulum, Mexico starting in 2024.

Set to officially open on December 1, Mexico’s newest commercial airport could be a game-changer for the tourism-driven region.

In Summer 2024, United says it will have up to five daily flights to the new airport. Flights on the carrier’s new services will be available on Nov. 18, 2023.

While the new airport was slated for an early 2024 opening, Mexico’s president announced in April that the project will be completed ahead of schedule.

Services will be offered daily and year-round onboard a Boeing 737-800 aircraft from Delta’s Atlanta hub. So far, Delta is the only U.S. airline to announce service.
