New Flight route announced between Mcallen & Cancun

Mara Lezama, the governor of the state of Quintana Roo, has announced a new flight route to be opened between McAllen and Cancún. The route will be operated by Volaris, and will begin operations on July 3rd.

This new route will significantly increase flight connectivity between Quintana Roo and more than 40 cities in the United States, which represents a considerable boon to the region’s tourist and cultural industries.

The route will operate biweekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with departures from Cancún scheduled for 12:15, and returns from McAllen at 16:05. This will allow travellers to enjoy a direct and uncomplicated travel experience, facilitating access to both regions’ tourist and cultural attractions.

The governor highlighted the importance of this route as a contributor to a “new era of tourism” in Quintana Roo, and she reiterated her administration’s commitment to promoting unforgettable tourist experiences for all visitors to the state. In addition to strengthening the local economy and promoting a broader cultural exchange between the two regions, the new route will further solidify Cancún’s International Airport as an important nexus for international tourism in the country.

Mexico continues to shine as one of the world’s most dynamic travel destinations. Between January and September 2025, the country experienced strong growth in international arrivals, highlighting the appeal of its diverse landscapes, cultural richness, and world-class hospitality. Looking ahead, 2026 promises to be historic, with major events such as the FIFA World Cup and FITUR expected to draw visitors from around the globe. The country’s maritime and cruise tourism also experienced a notable rebound, reflecting the popularity of Mexico’s coastal regions and islands. Ports welcomed a growing number of travelers seeking sun-soaked adventures, culinary experiences, and immersive cultural activities along the Riviera Maya, Pacific Coast, and other key destinations. Secretary of Tourism Josefina Rodríguez Zamora emphasized that tourism is more than an economic driver—it is a force for shared prosperity, fostering social development, strengthening local economies, and improving the quality of life for communities. “This year reflects the dedication of the sector to position Mexico as a global leader in tourism and culture,” she said. As the winter season begins, Mexico’s combination of warm climate, accessibility, and rich experiences is expected to continue attracting travelers from the United States, Canada, and beyond.
