Small gateway serving the Riviera Maya's top resort town.
Location
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Playa del Carmen National Airport (IATA: PCM, ICAO: MMPY) is a small general aviation and charter airport located in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico. It serves as a supplementary air access point for the Riviera Maya, handling light aircraft, private charters, and some scheduled regional flights rather than major commercial jet service.
Most international visitors to Playa del Carmen arrive via Cancún International Airport (CUN), approximately 68 km to the north, which offers far greater capacity and airline connectivity. MMPY primarily accommodates small propeller and turboprop aircraft due to its relatively short runway and limited infrastructure.
