Cancún Airport is a train station station next to Cancún International Airport. It is the most important station on the entire Tren Maya network, served by trains to all other stations.

Tren Maya

Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced the Tren Maya project in his 2018 presidential campaign. On 13 August 2018, he announced the complete outline. The new Tren Maya put Cancún Airport on the route connecting Yucatán and Quintana Roo.[3]

Characteristics

The station was constructed by Empresas ICA, which is also building section 4 of the Tren Maya. Two lines converge in Cancún: Line 4, which will connect Cancún with Izamal, Yucatán, and Line 5, which will go from this city to Playa del Carmen. The Cancún station is the largest on the entire network, with it having 10 platforms. Additionally, it will be served by a shuttle bus to the international airport.[4]

The station covers an area of 34,745 m² (3.4745 ha; 8.586 acres), and it is designed by TEN Arquitectos.[4]
