Cancún International Airport (IATA: CUN, ICAO: MMUN) is an international airport serving Cancún, the most populous city in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. It is Mexico’s second busiest airport and the busiest 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 an operating base for Viva, Volaris and Magnicharters, Cancún Airport primarily functions as a major destination for most U.S. and Canadian mainline airlines, serving routes from all their hubs and focus cities, and making it the non-U.S. airport with the most U.S. destinations.
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 2024, the airport handled approximately 30.4 million passengers, with a slight decrease to 29.3 million in 2025, of which 19.4 million were international passengers.
