Among the airports that will connect with foreign countries are several well-known airlines such as Delta Airlines, which will have a direct route from the USA, and Spirit Airlines with flights starting in March 2024 from Orlando.
As well as American Airlines, with 4 daily flights from Tulum Airport to destinations such as Dallas, Charlotte and Miami; and United Airlines connecting with New York, Houston and Chicago starting March 31 and one seasonal flight from Los Angeles, starting May 23, 2024.
3. Mexico's first green airport
Another of the many charms of the Tulum “Felipe Carrillo Puerto” Airport is that it not only takes you to exciting destinations, but also marks an ecological milestone for Mexico.
As Governor Mara Lezama has highlighted it. According to her latest statement on social networks, and in compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization, this is the first “Green Airport” in the country.
Since, its construction focuses on the protection of flora and fauna, along with effective measures to mitigate environmental impacts. Thus, in a way, by choosing this destination you are choosing a trip that takes care of our planet!
4. Quintana Roo, home to 4 International Airports
When talking about this new connection, we cannot fail to mention that the state of Quintana Roo now has four international airports, consolidating itself as an epicenter for travel in Mexico.
Having the International Airport of Cancun, Cozumel, Chetumal, and now the one in Tulum to complement this air transportation network.
And as if four airports were not enough, to highlight the importance of Quintana Roo on the map, in addition to the above-mentioned airports, the Tulum Airport will have a new level of accessibility with the future station of the Mayan train.
