Riviera Maya, Q.R. — Quintana Roo has added to its own recent record for the most flights in one day at its four international airports. On Saturday, more than 750 flights were recorded between Cancun International, Cozumel International, Tulum International and Chetumal International Airports.
State Governor Mara Lezama reported a total of 765 flights across the state on Saturday. Of those flights, 665 were at the Cancun International Airport making it the third highest number of flights recorded in 2024.
According to Lezama, the Tulum International Airport repeated its new daily high since its inauguration a year ago with 56 flights. The airport also recorded the high figure of 56 flights on December 21.
Governor Lezama said the new records have been set thanks to joint efforts that have sustained growth in air connectivity which allows the state to continue attracting tourists from around the world.
Bernardo Cueto, the State Secretary of Tourism said “this historic figure reflects the growing demand and the positioning of Quintana Roo as one of the most important destinations worldwide.”
“Notably, Tulum International Airport reached 56 flights Saturday for the second time this month. This is a testament to the rapid growth and expansion of tourism in the state, especially in Riviera Maya, one of the most visited destinations in the world,” Cueto commented.
In 2024, Cancun International Airport recorded 691 flights on January 6, 676 flights on March 23 and 665 on December 28. Last weekend, on December 21, the Cancun International Airport recorded 662 flights.
The Ministry of Tourism says it continues to work hand-in-hand with airlines to consolidate strategic relationships and continue to expand the range of routes and frequencies at the airports of Cancun, Cozumel, Chetumal and Tulum.
This effort aims to ensure that the flow of tourists continues to grow steadily, benefiting both visitors and residents of Quintana Roo.
