Delta to Suspend Atlanta–Tulum Route as Airlines Keep Leaving Tulum Airport

Cancún, Quintana Roo — Delta Air Lines will suspend its Atlanta–Tulum service, the airline’s only remaining route to the airport, adding to a growing list of carriers that have pulled out of the Quintana Roo terminal.

Delta said the Atlanta–Tulum flight, which currently runs seven times a week, will be suspended from May 3, 2027, with a possible return in November of that year as a seasonal service only. Last year the airline cancelled its routes to Tulum from Detroit and Minneapolis.

“Delta flights to TQO (Tulum) from ATL (Atlanta) are expected to resume in November 2027. The operation to Tulum will move to an exclusively seasonal service model,” the airline said, without setting a firm restart date.

Delta also disclosed how the schedule will wind down:

• Regular daily Atlanta–Tulum flights will operate from Nov. 22, 2026 through May 2, 2027, except between Jan. 12 and March 3, when there will be no Tuesday or Wednesday departures.
• Saturday-only service scheduled from May 3 to July 31, 2027 has been cancelled permanently.

The decision follows United Airlines’ announcement that it will stop serving Tulum. United confirmed its last flight to the airport from Newark, New Jersey, will be on Jan. 2, 2027, while its Houston route will operate until Jan. 4.

With Delta’s exit, Tulum will have lost service from United, Copa Airlines, Aeroméxico, Avianca, American Airlines and Volaris, among others, since the airport opened.
