Reyes del Aire (Kings of the Air) is CMLL's high flyers tournament. The tournament usually works as a cibernetico with mostly young and undercard tecnicos, with the idea of focusing more attention on the winner. Reyes del Aire grown in importance each year.

The size of the tournament varies year to year. The tournament is usually held in Arena Mexico, but some have taken place in Arena Puebla. CMLL will occasionally run multiple tournaments in a year for no explained reason.
