Cancun International Airport (CUN) is one of the busiest airports in the Caribbean and the point of entry to the “Mundo Maya”. Every year millions of people visit Cancun and the Riviera Maya and the number of visitors is expected to increase rapidly thanks to the new mega-resorts already in construction all over the area.

Authorities “are working to find the cause of the multiple versions surrounding Cancun’s airport, not finding any signs of detonations or explosions,” the police chief of the state says on Twitter.

One Twitter user says: “at the airport in Cancun waiting for a flight and just saw a herd of people running and screaming towards me. People ducking behind counters and chairs…”
The Twitter user continued, adding “people seem to think someone had a gun… but security can’t confirm. Terminal has at least partially been evacuated.”
