Cancun Vacations to be Easier with Airport Improvements

October 23rd, 2009 by admin

The Cancun Mexico airport has only one active runway. In fact, there are no commercial airports in Mexico with 2 or more runways. (Even Mexico City’s airport has only one runway…this to serve the avaiation needs of the world’s largest city!) This can put a minor stall in your Cancun vacation, by adding a few extra laps around in the air upon arrival before landing, or by stranding you on the tarmac for 15 minutes or more awaiting a take-off position. This is about to change, as work has begun on a second runway. The project adds an entirely new tall airport control tower as well, in order for controlers to have unubstructed views of the entire aircraft operation area.
