Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport, also known as Tulum Airport (TQO/MMTL), is a modern international airport located near the city of Tulum in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. It was constructed to relieve pressure on the heavily congested Cancún International Airport and to provide direct access to the booming Tulum and Riviera Maya tourism corridor.
