If you recall when visiting downtown Playa del Carmen, near to the pier for Cozumel, the sounds of Cessnas or light sport airplanes taking off and landing were very frequentBut, If all goes as plans, it appears as if the old airport might move further out of town and the runway will be replaced with a new Avenue As common here on the Mexican Caribbean, many plans exist for airports and their expansions as all projections point to strong growth in tourism in the area over the next 10 years The Playa del Carmen Real Estate market will have a brand new avenue connecting the Highway 307 approximately where the Cheverolet Dealership is located, and will open up an artery down towards 10th avenue
In 2009, the new airport will be relocated six kilometers to the south of Playa del Carmen towards Tulum In the new location, with gounds much larger, the plans include amongst other improvements, hangers which will allow for increased volume of flights from the smaller private air crafts and special tourist activities The present location of the downtown airport has a runway of approximately 800 meters, the new location will have 1200 meters for takeoffs and landings In the last few years, the volume of week end gateaway visitors here for the Riviera Maya has risen, which includes many international visitors So this improvement in the location and installations has been received very well by the local city officials
