Aeropuerto Internacional de Tulum Felipe Carrillo Puerto (TQO)

Inside, travelers walk through a spacious check‑in hall where natural light pours through a glass façade that frames views of low‑lying tropical scrub. The terminal’s walls display rotating exhibitions of Maya stone carvings, allowing passengers to glimpse pre‑Columbian art before boarding. A small rooftop terrace offers a clear view of the single 2,500‑metre runway, where the occasional landing of a narrow‑body jet is accompanied by the distant hum of the nearby Caribbean Sea.

Construction began in 2020 as part of a regional plan to divert air traffic from the over‑burdened Cancun airport. The facility opened to commercial flights in late 2023 and is designed for up to two million passengers a year, with a layout that emphasizes local limestone finishes and rain‑water harvesting. Its solar‑panel canopy, capable of supplying the entire terminal’s daytime electricity needs, highlights how the airport blends modern travel infrastructure with the area’s commitment to sustainable development.
