American Airlines made history on March 28 as the first U.S. airline to touch down at the recently opened Tulum International Airport (TQO) when it launched service from Miami International Airport and two other U.S. hubs on the first day of international operations at TQO. Tulum is American’s third new international destination inaugurated from MIA this year and gives the airport a total of seven Mexican routes – its most ever.
Service from MIA to Tulum will operate daily year-round, providing customers direct and convenient access to the ancient ruins, picturesque landscapes, and white sand beaches of this Mexican paradise. The flight will operate on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with seating for 172 passengers.
The Tulum route will complement the 45 other unique destinations American operates in the MCLA region direct from MIA. In February, American also launched new service to Governor’s Harbour, Bahamas, and became the only U.S. airline to offer direct service to Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
