United Airlines to Cease Flights to Tulum International Airport by Early 2027 Amid Broader Airline Reductions
United Airlines is reportedly discontinuing all flights to and from Tulum International Airport (TQO) in Mexico by early 2027. The final flights from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to TQO are scheduled for January 2, 2027, and from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) by January 4, 2027. This decision follows a trend of reduced service by several other airlines at TQO. JetBlue ended its Tulum service in March 2026, Aeromexico announced a temporary suspension of its routes in late September, and Volaris has halted ticket sales for flights after January 7, 2027. United Airlines stated that these adjustments are part of 'regular adjustments' to its flight schedule based on 'seasonality, demand and other market factors.' Tulum International Airport, officially known as Aeropuerto Internacional Felipe Carrillo Puerto, opened in December 2023 and began welcoming international visitors in March 2024.
