The annual total included a 6.5 percent increase in international traffic to Cancun, with just under 21 million intentional passengers handled at the airport. 

Cancun was the busiest airport in the wider Caribbean Basin last year by a large margin, followed by Puerto Rico’s Luis Munoz Marin International Airport and Punta Cana International Airport in the Dominican Republic. 

Luiz Munoz Marin International Airport is also managed by ASUR.
