American Airlines to suspend Tulum-Miami flights, leaving Dallas as its only route
American Airlines will suspend its Tulum-Miami service on Jan.
5, 2027.
Tulum’s airport is in southeastern Mexico, a region where US visitors make up the largest share of international tourists.
Dallas-Fort Worth will be the airline’s only remaining Tulum route in January, with one flight a day.
The airline is also switching to a smaller aircraft, with a maximum capacity of 78 passengers.
Tulum airport has lost flights as airline incentives ended, prompting carriers to leave from 2025 onward.
The airport’s average traffic is now about 10 flights a day, nearly three-quarters below its peak, according to national aviation authority figures.
The route cuts add pressure to international visitor numbers, while Mexicana and Viva Aerobus continue daily domestic service from the airport.
American Airlines will suspend its Tulum–Miami service from January 5, 2027, leaving Dallas-Fort Worth as its only route from Tulum.
The airline said it would continue operating the Dallas-Fort Worth service.
From January, the remaining route is scheduled to have one daily flight with a maximum capacity of 78 passengers.
American Airlines began flying to Tulum in March 2024 with four daily flights across routes from Dallas, Charlotte and Los Angeles.
El Financiero reported that Tulum airport now receives an average of 10 flights a day, nearly three-quarters below its peak.
