## Description

Cancún International is the gateway to the Riviera Maya, and tourism defines almost everything about it. Operated by ASUR and handling around 30 million passengers, it ranks among Latin America's busiest airports for international traffic - but air cargo is a secondary activity here. Freight moves overwhelmingly as belly cargo on the dense leisure schedules, including perishable seafood and regional exports, cleared through an on-site Aduana customs area. Dedicated freighter services are rare; the four-runway layout is built for passenger peaks rather than tonnage. Shippers with dense or time-critical industrial cargo typically consolidate via Mexico City (MEX) or the AIFA freight hub (NLU). Surface access runs along Federal Highway 307 toward the hotel zone and Playa del Carmen, while the new Tren Maya rail line so far serves passengers rather than freight. In short, Cancún's logistics value lies in its passenger reach, with cargo riding along beneath it.
