Airlines that used to fly from Terminal 2

~~Interjet~~Ceased operations · December 2020
Suspended all flights in December 2020 after a long financial crisis and was formally declared bankrupt by a Mexican court in September 2022. It never returned.

Its domestic routes are now covered by Volaris, Viva Aerobus and Aeroméxico.
~~Aeromar~~Ceased operations · February 2023
Announced the definitive end of operations on 15 February 2023, after losses it could not cover and with no new investor.

A regional carrier; the routes it served are now flown by other Mexican airlines.
Mexicana de AviaciónFlying again, but not to Cancun · December 2023
The original Mexicana stopped flying in 2010. A new state-owned airline under the same name began commercial operations on 26 December 2023.

Its inaugural flight went to Tulum, not Cancun, and Cancun is not among the destinations it serves. It did not appear once in the 1,487 flights we counted, nor in the live board. If you are looking for a Mexicana flight into this region, the airport it serves is Tulum.

Arriving into Terminal 2

The order is the same in every terminal, and knowing it stops the wait feeling open-ended.

1 Gate 5–15 min Taxiing and disembarking. A jetway is quicker than a bus.

2 Immigration 10–50 min International arrivals only. Domestic flights skip it.

3 Baggage 15–25 min The wait is for the belt to start, not for it to run.

4 Customs 2–10 min Green light and you walk out. Red light, an inspection.

5 ExitTwo separate exits: domestic and international Past the doors. Nobody may meet you before this point.

Landing to the doors: 35–100 minutes in total.

Landing to walking out: 35–50 minutes on a quiet day, 70–100 in peak season. That gap is why meeting someone at the landing time means an hour in the hall.

Getting out from here

All four ways out serve every operating terminal: the official taxi counter is inside the arrivals area, the ADO bus stops right outside, car rental desks are on site, and pre-booked transfers meet you past the exit doors.

Private transfer Flat price per vehicle, driver waiting with your name. FROM $35 USD ONE WAY Airport taxi Counter inside the terminal, fixed price by zone. NO BOOKING NEEDED ADO bus Outside the doors, to downtown bus stations. THE CHEAPEST WAY OUT Another terminal Free shuttle, every 10 to 15 minutes. NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES BETWEEN ANY TWO TERMINALS
