Ecuador's Quito Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO)

Ecuador's new Quito Mariscal Sucre International Airport (Code UIO), South America's best accessible airport is an important hub to South America. Opened in February 2013, is located on the Oyambaro plain near the town of Tababela at a distance of about 18 km or 11 mi east from Quito.

The new airport replaces the old one in the North of the capital, which - surrounded by residential neighborhoods - will be converted into a city park. The new state-of-the-art facility, both terms of design and its air navigation systems, CAN handle over 5m passengers per year and the runway is long enough to accommodate the landing of an Airbus A380, the world’s biggest passenger aircraft. Quito handles more than two thirds of Ecuador’s international traffic, and is ready to expand its connections to all capitals of South America.

Dear visitor, our website gives you info about our National Parks Tours, our Galapagos programs, the Cuyabeno Loop, as well as our Cuyabeno  and Cofan Lodges in the Amazon. For those who want to combine the Exuberant Nature of Ecuador with the Famous culture of Peru, we even have a 7 days Highlights of Peru extension! Our website gives you the best information on the internet, like Ecuador Travel Guide, because we are the only tour operator run by professional biologists. Take a look:

The Standard taxi fee is $25, while a bus shuttle between the location of the new and old airport costs $8, but then from there you still need to take a taxi to your destination, which usually is between $5 - $6.

It is possible to stay in the town of Tababela for anywhere between $25 and $45 which usually includes airport transportation (11 minutes).

The airport is the main hub and home base of TAME, Transportes Aereos Militares Ecuatorianos, the Ecuadorian national carrier, which started its regular international flights on April 30, 1966 by flying to Havana, Panama and Santiago de Chile. The airline, with an average of over 220 daily flights, changed its legal status in 2011 to a civilian state owned company, that no longer under the administration of the Air Force.

Currently Tame serves 15 cities in Ecuador, Cali and Bogota in Colombia, Havana in Cuba, São Paulo in Brazil, Buenos Aires in Argentina, New York in the United States, Caracas in Venezuela, Lima in Peru and Panama City. All destinations are served from the primary hub Quito (UIO) and the secondary hub in Guayaquil (GYE), except the flight to Cali which stops at Esmeraldas.

The new waiting rooms are spacious and comfortable with plenty of restaurants at the food plaza to chose the food and drinks to accommodate anybody's taste and budget.
