Gateway to Mexico's premier Caribbean island diving destination.
Opened
1970
Location
Cozumel, Mexico
Cozumel International Airport (IATA: CZM, ICAO: MMCZ) serves the island of Cozumel, located off the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. It is a key entry point for tourists drawn to Cozumel's world-renowned coral reefs and scuba diving, as well as cruise passengers seeking flights to and from the island.
The airport handles both domestic and international flights, connecting Cozumel to major Mexican cities such as Mexico City and Cancún, as well as to destinations in the United States. Traffic is heavily seasonal, peaking during winter and spring holiday periods when diving and beach tourism is at its highest.
Although modest in size compared to nearby Cancún International Airport, Cozumel's airport plays a vital role in the regional tourism economy and supports the island's status as one of the most visited dive destinations in the Western Hemisphere.
Terminals
The airport operates a single terminal building handling both domestic and international arrivals and departures.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to downtown Cozumel (San Miguel) is available via taxis, which are the primary option, as the island has no public bus service to the airport.
Airlines here
Airlines serving CZM include Aeromexico, Volaris, Viva Aerobus, and seasonal or charter services from U.S. carriers.
