Ecuador’s Top Cities for Private Jet Charter Flights
Guayaquil International (SEGU) is the main general aviation gateway into Ecuador and is home to 35% of its air taxi fleet. Other international hubs include Quito Mariscal Sucre (UIO), Cotopaxi-Latacunga (LTX) and Manta Eloy Alfaro (MEC).
The Ecuadorian airport infrastructure includes 394 ICAO-certified runways and 28 heliports certified for commercial use. However, just 22 of its airports have received scheduled flights in 2022, as per DGAC data.
Guayaquil José Joaquín de Olmedo (IATA: GYE, ICAO: SEGU) is Ecuador’s main Bizav hub. Flights to the Galápagos Islands typically stop here for immigration and sanitary control. There are six FBOs at the SEGU airport.
Popular among foreign tourists, Quito Mariscal Sucre (UIO|SEQM) receives the highest number of private jet flights in Ecuador. This high-elevation airport (2,813 m) boasts a modern FBO terminal, served by four handling agents.
Known as the “tuna capital of the world”, Manta Eloy Alfaro International Airport (MEC|SEMT) is the most important business jet destination of the Ecuadorian Pacific Coast.
The majority of the journeys to Galapagos go through Seymour (GPS|SEGS), preceded by a two hour fumigation break in Guayaquil. There are no FBO facilities and no overnight parking is currently possible.
The second most popular airport in Galapagos, San Cristóbal (SCY|SEST), features a small VIP Lounge and can be accessed through Guayaquil, following a two hour fumigation layover.
Cotopaxi (LTX|SELT) is a high-elevation airport (2,805 m) situation just an hour from the renowned stratovolcano. Services include meet & greet, VIP catering, helicopter transfers and private parking.
