Yucatán appears in the national ranking of the states in the country that received the most passengers by air during 2023, with almost 3.7 million passengers arriving at the Mérida “Manuel Crescencio Rejón” International Airport, according to the administration of the air terminal itself.
This historical maximum amount is issued based on the figures from the Airport Operational Statistics, presented by the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation (SICT), corresponding to December 2023, in which the Yucatán air terminal was positioned between the eight first entities in the entire country in terms of passengers, which represented a growth of 19.3 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.
This translated into a greater increase than the national one, which stood at 11.6%, placing the state among the first four places in the ranking of accumulated growth of airports with the highest passenger flow.
Specifically, 343,514 passengers were registered at the Mérida International Airport last December, a figure that also represents a historical maximum for that month, and which represented an annual increase of 4.9%, higher than the national increase of 2.9%, placing the state within the first three places in the annual growth ranking.
On the other hand, in the cargo segment, the airport registered a total of 26,027 tons, which also translates into the historical maximum in volume for one year, placing this terminal within the first ten places in this category.
