Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I did a search and found nothing.
I ran into a display at CUN yesterday about a new terminal, and it had a diagram, with a new, parallel runway on the northwest side of the existing complex, with the new terminal toward the southeast side of the complex, further east than the existing domestic gates. Here is the press release from ASUR:
• An advanced security system that screens 100% of the baggage transported in every aeroplane, and which complies with the new international aeronautical security regulations
• A total area of more than 40,000 m2
• 84 check-in counters
• 11 boarding gates with boarding bridges, and another 4 for remote stands
new runway will be 2,400 meters long x 45 meters wide
This will ensure that Cancun will be able to keep up with their tourism industry, and I'm sure will be a good investment to support the growing economy.
This should be able to land most anything and do departure for most narrow-bodied planes such as Delta 757 or SkyService 757s that frequent this airport during the winter months,

Quoting Mexicana757 (Reply 1): Thats very good news for CUN. Are there any pictures of the new terminal that is going to built? I didnt find anything on the ASUR website.
I too was looking for some, but I couldn't find any. The little setup at CUN had an artist rendered drawing and animated video, and it looked very very nice.

This is great news. I was there last July and it was very crowded. I should add that I was flying three days before Emily hit. It seemed as though there was insufficient gates for the size of planes and volume of passengers. We were transported by bus from our gate to board our AA 757.
