Airline list checked against live flight records in October 2026. Airlines sometimes switch terminals, so always confirm on your boarding pass or the airline app. Spirit Airlines and Magnicharters stopped flying in 2026; Interjet, Sunwing (now part of WestJet), Thomas Cook and Lufthansa’s former Cancun flights no longer operate as listed on older guides.
What the rebuild means for travellers
When Terminal 1 reopens, some airlines may move there to free up space in the other terminals. If you fly in late 2026 or 2027, check the terminal shown on your boarding pass or airline app a day before you travel, and tell your transfer company the correct terminal.
