Hire a Private Jet to Cancun

A private jet charter to Cancún, Mexico, offers direct access to the Riviera Maya and its world-renowned resorts. Leisure travellers arrive for pristine beaches, exclusive yacht escapes to Isla Mujeres or Cozumel, and championship golf at El Camaleón Mayakoba or Iberostar Playa Paraíso, while the region’s Mayan heritage sites provide a cultural counterpart. Business visitors also value Cancún’s first-class MICE infrastructure and international corporate appeal.

LunaJets arranges direct flights to Cancún International Airport (CUN), where dedicated FBOs provide swift and discreet service. From there, chauffeured SUVs reach Playa del Carmen in about 1 hour and Tulum in roughly 1 hour 45 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are typical transfer times from Cancún Airport to nearby resorts & destinations in the Riviera Maya?

Many luxury resorts in the Cancún Hotel Zone are about 25 minutes by car from CUN (~12 km), under normal traffic. Playa del Carmen is typically about 55 minutes, depending on your resort’s exact location, plus potential delays. If you’re heading further down the coast (Tulum, etc.), transfers can be 1.5-2 hours. LunaJets will help arrange a private transfer tailored to your resort to minimize waiting & ground travel.

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Cancun?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Cancun. You must present a veterinary health certificate (original and certified copy) issued within 15 days before export. The pets (dogs, cats) must be free from communicable diseases, vaccinated against rabies, and treated for internal and external parasites in the prior 6 months. Your pet and all documents will be inspected by Mexican agricultural health authorities (SENASICA) on arrival. LunaJets will ensure your pet’s paperwork meets Mexico’s import rules.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Cancún International Airport (CUN)?

No. Cancún International operates 24/7, with full private jet access. All VIP services, customs and immigration, fuel and handling are available at any hour. LunaJets will arrange your slot and ground services according to your arrival or departure schedule.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Cancun?

All travellers flying privately to Cancun must comply with Mexican entry requirements. Nationals of many countries (including EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, etc.) may enter Mexico without a visa for tourism, business or transit for stays up to 180 days. A valid passport is needed, and travellers generally need to fill out a Tourist Card / Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM or its digital equivalent) upon arrival. Passports should be valid for the duration of stay. LunaJets will verify your specific entry requirements based on citizenship and ensure all documentation is in place.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Cancun?

Cancun experiences peak demand during Christmas, New Year, and spring break, so it’s best to book several weeks in advance to secure your aircraft and slots. Even so, LunaJets often arranges flights to Cancun at short notice, even during busy periods.
