Delta Air Lines Pioneers U.S. Flights to New Tulum Airport

Delta Air Lines has taken a pioneering step by becoming the first U.S. airline to announce flights to the soon-to-be-opened Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport, situated near Tulum in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. The airline’s announcement has brought the spotlight to this new airport, located just south of the bustling city of Cancun.

The service will commence on March 28 2024, a mere four days after the airport’s grand opening, highlighting Delta’s eagerness to tap into the potential of this new route. The inaugural flight will connect Atlanta, one of Delta’s major hubs, directly with the scenic coastal town of Tulum, making travel for U.S. tourists more convenient.

Tulum, known for its pristine beaches, ancient Mayan ruins, and vibrant nightlife, has been a hotspot for travelers from around the world. With the establishment of the Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport, the region expects a boost in tourism, further enhancing its status as a must-visit destination.

Delta’s decision to promptly initiate flights to this new destination demonstrates its strategic commitment to expanding its network and offering passengers more direct routes to popular vacation spots. As the date approaches, travel enthusiasts are keenly awaiting the inaugural journey, which marks a new chapter in U.S.-Mexico air travel.
