Passenger traffic in Cancún is showing clear signs of stabilization, according to new November data released by airport operator ASUR.
The airport reported 2,401,840 passengers handled in November, a year-over-year decline of just 0.8 percent. While negative, the growth reflects a leveling-off after months of uneven performance driven by shifting travel patterns and a softer shoulder season across parts of Mexico.
Domestic traffic held steady at 834,117 passengers for the month, down 5.6 percent; but international traffic — the primary driver of Cancún’s tourism economy — grew by 1.7 percent to reach 1,567,723 passengers.
Year to date, Cancún has handled passenger traffic of 27,608,243, a 3.5 percent decline over 2024
The stabilizing performance comes as airlines continue to add capacity into the Mexican Caribbean, particularly from the United States and Canada, where demand for warm-weather travel remains high heading into the holidays.
