Why MMTL changed the trip to the Riviera Maya
Before December 2023, a private flight to Tulum ended in Cancún. From there came 90 to 120 minutes down Federal Highway 307, a stretch with seasonal traffic and speed bumps that turned a two-hour flight into half a day.
Felipe Carrillo Puerto International (MMTL) opened twelve miles from town with a 12,140-foot concrete runway and its own executive aviation terminal. For a group leaving on a Friday afternoon, the difference between arriving for dinner and arriving for bed is exactly that stretch of road.
