CANCÚN EXPANDS GLOBAL AIR CONNECTIVITY
January 7, 2026

Cancún is set to become even more accessible in 2026 with the launch of multiple new air routes connecting the Mexican Caribbean to major cities in the United States, Canada, and Europe. This expansion reinforces Cancún’s status as one of the region’s best-connected destinations and one of Mexico’s leading gateways for both leisure and group travel.
Among the new connections are routes from U.S. cities such as Las Vegas, New Orleans, Chicago, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Charleston, Norfolk, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City, alongside expanded service from Canadian markets including Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary, Charlottetown, and Fredericton. International access will also grow with the introduction of a direct flight from Dublin, offering a new transatlantic link to the destination.
These routes not only strengthen Cancún’s ties to its core North American markets but also broaden its global reach, making travel easier for international visitors and opening new opportunities for meetings, incentives, and special events. Enhanced air access also supports nearby destinations such as Cozumel and the wider Riviera Maya, further elevating the region’s appeal.
