Tulum Has Been Such a Failure That Even Aeromexico is Leaving

The newly established Tulum airport, which debuted in late 2023, failed to generate anticipated growth for the surrounding tourism sector. Despite initial optimism regarding increased air traffic, passenger interest in utilizing the facility significantly decreased. Consequently, Aeromexico announced its departure from operating flights into Tulum, scheduled to conclude at the end of this month. This decision reflects a substantial drop in demand observed at the airport. The lack of sustained utilization presents a considerable challenge for the region’s economic development plans reliant on improved air access.
