None of the firms that bid on the construction of an airport for the Riviera Maya met the basic conditions, the Transportation Ministry has announced. The airport probably would be built near Tulum, about 100 miles south of Cancun. Currently resorts along the Riviera are served by the Cancun airport, but in some cases more time is spent in ground transportation than in flying. The airport, like the one in Cancun, would be privately operated, but operators of the Cancun airport were not allowed to bid on this new project. They still came out as winners, however, since, for the moment, they will have no competition.
