In 2015, the airport handled 179,377 passengers, and in 2016 it handled 209,972 passengers.
On October 9, 2011, Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) invested 19 million pesos (1.5 million USD) in modernizing Chetumal's International Airport by extending landing strips to allow room for more air traffic, as promised by the governor Roberto Borge Angulo. According to the governor the modernization came with the intent of improving the city's infrastructure and logistic developments to make Quintana Roo more competitive within the national market. The modernization of the airport also included the expansion of the main terminal.
MexicanaClick formerly served this airport until 2010. Mexicana Click's flight to Chetumal was one of the many flights canceled by the company Mexicana before they filed for bankruptcy in 2010, which led to Mexicana's operations to be ceased in August 3, 2010. In Chetumal, Aeroméxico attempted to take over the services that Mexicana Click offered; however, Interjet's low prices made Aeromexico's service to Chetumal unprofitable. On February 23, 2013, Aeromexico ended its service to Chetumal.
