Hurricane Beryl's wrath has reached the Yucatan Peninsula, forcing the cancellation of over 300 flights at Cancun International Airport (CUN). This disruption has left many travelers stranded and scrambling to adjust their plans. The powerful storm, which made landfall on July 5, 2024, prompted airport officials to prioritize safety and suspend operations as a precautionary measure. With hurricane-force winds and heavy rain battering the region, any air travel would be extremely hazardous.

Airlines have been working diligently to rebook passengers on flights scheduled for later in the week, once the weather clears and conditions are deemed safe for air travel.
