Cancún International Airport is located in Cancún, Quintana Roo, on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. It is Mexico's second busiest airport, after Mexico City International Airport in Mexico City, but the biggest in Mexico and Latin America for International passengers. In 2009, Cancún airport handled 11,174,908 passengers, a moderate decrease from 12,646,451 in 2008, partly due to the 2009 flu pandemic and the Financial crisis of 2007-2010.

The airport has been expanding as it has become one of the most important international airports in the country. It has two operative runways that are 1,500m apart which allows them to be used simultaneously, and three commercial terminals. Terminal 1 is used by charter airlines from North America, including domestic charter airlines. Terminal 2 is used by some international airlines, as all of the scheduled domestic airlines, and new Terminal 3 handles almost all international operations of airlines from North America and Europe.

The airport is operated by ASUR, together with Cozumel International Airport, Mérida International Airport, Veracruz International Airport, Villahermosa International Airport and Xoxocotlán International Airport among others.
