Private Aviation in Ecuador
Ecuador is an extraordinary biodiversity destination compressed into a country the size of the United Kingdom, encompassing the Galapagos Islands, Amazon jungle, Andean highlands, and Pacific coast in a single exceptional itinerary. Two private jet routes serve Ecuador, with the Galapagos being the primary ultra-luxury draw for HNWI clients.
Key Airports
Quito Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) is Ecuador capital gateway at 2,850m altitude. Guayaquil Jose Joaquin de Olmedo (GYE) is the Pacific coast and business aviation hub. Baltra (GPS) and San Cristobal (SCY) on the Galapagos Islands require advance coordination for private jet arrivals and are subject to strict environmental landing limitations.
Top Destinations
Galapagos Islands for liveaboard yacht expeditions with Charles Darwin Research Station access; Quito for the UNESCO Spanish colonial city and the equatorial monument; Cloud Forest reserves for spectacled bear and mountain tapir sightings; Mashpi Lodge for the luxury eco-lodge experience in cloud forest canopy; Amazon basin for indigenous community immersion and river dolphin spotting.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flying private to Ecuador
How much does it cost to charter a private jet to Ecuador?
Indicative private jet charter prices for Ecuador start from around €10,000 on currently published Flyius routes such as Quito - Miami. Final pricing depends on aircraft category, departure airport, positioning, passenger count, airport fees, seasonality and crew scheduling.
Which airport should I use for a private jet flight to Ecuador?
José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (SEGU) is the primary airport we currently use as a reference for private aviation in Ecuador.

How early should I book a private jet to Ecuador?
For Ecuador, book as early as possible around Inti Raymi, school holidays and major business or leisure peaks. For normal travel, 48 to 72 hours can be enough, but international handling, permits, crew duty limits and preferred aircraft availability are easier to secure with more notice.
