Chichen Itza International Airport
Chichen Itza International Airport (IATA: CZA, ICAO: MMCT) is an international airport located in Chichen Itza, Yucatán, Mexico, in the northern Yucatán Peninsula. Airport construction began in 1999 and it was inaugurated on April 12, 2000 with an investment of 135 million pesos (about US$14,250,000 in that year). Initially, Aeroméxico, Mexicana, Aerocozumel, and American Airlines were interested in making operations at the airport; however, shortly after, the airlines stopped operating because it was not profitable. Tourists now arrive first to Cancún and then go to Chichén Itzá by car or bus. Currently the airport is almost inoperative and has left a debt of 27 million pesos (about US$1,450,000).[1][2]
