aviation activities, and does not offer scheduled passenger public services. The nearest airports that offer commercial flights are Cancún International Airport and Mérida International Airport.
Situated at an elevation of 31 metres (102 ft) above mean sea level, the airport features a single concrete runway designated as 10/28, measuring 2,800 metres (9,200 ft). The commercial aviation apron includes three parking positions for narrow-body aircraft and additional stands for general aviation.
The passenger terminal is a single-story structure that houses both arrivals and departures facilities. The departures concourse features three gates with direct access to the apron, allowing passengers to board their planes by walking directly to the aircraft. The terminal's distinctive architecture features a thatched roof made from dried palm leaves, known as Palapas—a traditional construction technique often observed on Mexican beaches. Adjacent facilities include parking areas, civil aviation hangars, administration offices, courier and logistic facilities, and amenities for general aviation.
Officially inaugurated on April 12, 2000, the airport replaced an older facility located adjacent to the archaeological site of Chichen Itzá. Initially, Aeromexico, Mexicana, Aerocozumel, and American Airlines expressed interest in operating at the airport. However, due to profitability issues, the airport was never consistently operational. Over the years, the airport experienced intermittent service by airlines offering domestic and international flights.
