CUN Cancun

How deep the CUN board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from CUN. This reads the same 85 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 52of the 85 destinations are flown by one airline
• 32destinations run less than once a day
• 11destinations have four or more departures a day
• 23.5%of the destinations name VivaAerobus, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at CUN

38 airlines appear on the CUN board and they do not hold it evenly. VivaAerobus is on 20 of the 85 destinations, 23.5 per cent of them, and on 10 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 74.5 of the 183.5 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Volaris on 15 destinations. 20 of the 38 airlines at CUN appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 23.5 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 52 of the 85 sectors at CUN do not.

How much of the CUN board is daily

Of the 85 destinations, 53 are flown at least once a day and 32 are not, 11 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the CUN board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: CUN to Zurich (ZRH) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 59.1 of the 183.5 departures a day, 32.2 per cent of the whole board. The other 80 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at CUN usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of CUN where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 17 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from CUN

The desk holds the return direction for 69 of the 85 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On four of them the return into CUN runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Amsterdam (AMS) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back, Newcastle upon Tyne (NCL) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back and Winnipeg (YWG) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: Madrid (MAD) files 3.1 a day back into CUN against 1.8 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at CUN

CUN keeps America/Cancun time, nine hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 00:00 at CUN, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

The night at CUN

6 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from CUN that lands inside it leaves around 07:24, on a modelled block of 10h 06m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from CUN that lands inside it leaves around 05:08, on a modelled block of 10h 52m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from CUN that lands inside it leaves around 05:32, on a modelled block of 10h 28m. Those three departure times out of CUN are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where CUN turns up on the rest of this site

CUN carries two other pages on this site as well: the Mexico country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the CUN transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 14 airport pair pages that start or end at CUN, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Cancun to Mexico City (MEX), Cancun to Monterrey (MTY) and Cancun to Guadalajara (GDL).

Two courier postings name CUN as the airport a courier here flies from: Cancún and Playa del Carmen.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with CUN already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 85 destinations above.
