Aeroméxico to End Flights to Tulum Airport After September

Tulum, Quintana Roo — Aeroméxico will stop operating at Tulum International Airport “Felipe Carrillo Puerto” after September 2026, leaving the terminal without one of Mexico’s largest airlines.

The withdrawal was identified from flight schedules filed in the specialized Cirium database and analyzed by Cranky Flier, which show Aeroméxico’s Tulum flights disappearing after September. The schedules reviewed run through August 2027 and, so far, show no resumption of service — suggesting the move is more than a seasonal suspension.

Aeroméxico published a flexibility policy on September 14 titled “Tulum TQO offer adjustment” for passengers holding tickets to, from or through Tulum. The measure offers rebooking on other flights, a refund through an electronic document for the ticket’s value, or a return to the original form of payment.

Available records show the airline currently flies between Mexico City International Airport (AICM) and Tulum, with operations scheduled through September 30.

A Steady Retreat Since the 2023 Launch

Aeroméxico began serving Tulum when the terminal opened in December 2023, initially with two daily flights from Mexico City International Airport.

It later shifted those operations to Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA). In October 2025, one of the two daily frequencies returned to AICM, and by May 2026 the AIFA operation had been cut to four weekly flights. The current schedules indicate both routes will now disappear.

The reduction adds to adjustments other carriers have made since the airport opened. According to Cirium data compiled by Cranky Flier, domestic operations peaked around December 2024 at just over eight daily departures. Frequencies have fallen steadily since then. With Aeroméxico’s exit, the analysis estimates that two to four domestic departures a day will remain during the winter season, depending on the day.

Tulum International Airport’s own website still lists Aeroméxico with routes to AIFA (NLU) and AICM (MEX), alongside Viva Aerobus, Mexicana and Volaris among the domestic carriers serving the terminal.

International Carriers Also Scale Back

The international market has seen cuts as well since the initial surge of operations. The same Cirium analysis shows that Avianca, Copa Airlines, Discover Airlines and JetBlue all stopped flying to Tulum after opening routes there, while other airlines have reduced frequencies or kept seasonal service only.

So far, Aeroméxico has not issued a press release formally announcing a permanent exit from the airport. However, the removal of Tulum from its schedules after September and the official policy issued for affected passengers point to a substantial reduction of its service at the destination.
