CUN Airport Overview
Cancun International Airport CUN is located 16 km. to the south of the city of Cancun, along the Cancun-Chetumal highway. If you go to the hotel zone, it is only a 10 km distance. Cancun is on the northeastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, right on the Yucatan Channel. CUN is the country's second most important airport, and one of the foremost tourist destinations in Mexico. The Airport can be reached by plane from Florida within half an hour, and it is situated directly south of New Orleans. Cancun is the gateway to the exciting world of the former Mayan Empire, which included the Yucatan Peninsula.
The local population counts for about half a million people and, although Spanish is the official language, many other languages are spoken, including English.
This airport is an important hub of a number of inter-connecting destinations to vacation resorts in the Caribbean. CUN has two terminals, a domestic and an international one. Two cafés at the airport offer sandwiches or a meal, and parking is available in front of each terminal.
