The hub

Quito, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Quito is the political and administrative capital of Ecuador, home to over 2.7 million people in its metropolitan area. It hosts the headquarters of numerous government ministries, international NGOs, regional development banks, and a growing cluster of energy and mining sector offices serving Ecuador's oil and gas industry. The city's high-altitude setting means virtually all business aviation movements require specific flight planning adjustments — notably reduced payload capacity and extended takeoff roll calculations, particularly in warmer midday conditions.

Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), opened in 2013 to replace the old in-city Simón Bolívar Airport, is located approximately 37 km northeast of central Quito in the Tababela plain, at an elevation of 2,400m AMSL. The airport features a single runway of 4,100m, capable of accommodating wide-body jets and large-cabin business aircraft such as the Bombardier Global 7500 or Gulfstream G650, though performance penalties apply at this altitude. General aviation and business charter operations are concentrated on the south apron, with dedicated FBO and handling facilities separate from the commercial terminal.

The primary business generators for private aviation into and out of Quito include government affairs missions, oil sector contracting (Petroecuador and foreign operators), diplomatic travel, and regional corporate routes connecting Quito to Bogotá, Lima, Miami, and Panama City. The Galápagos Islands also funnel UHNWI leisure traffic through Quito, as Mariscal Sucre serves as the main gateway connection point for onward service to Baltra or San Cristóbal. Event-driven traffic peaks around Quito's December festivities and international summits hosted by UNASUR and Andean Community bodies.

Departures

Departures from Quito

Departures from Quito typically operate out of dedicated business-aviation terminals with FBO services, VIP lounges and customs clearance. The right field for your outbound charter depends on FBO availability, peak-hour slot windows and the runway length your jet category needs. Light Jets suit short regional hops, Midsize Jets cover longer European sectors, Heavy Jets support larger groups, and Ultra Long Range aircraft handle non-stop Quito → North America or Asia missions. Confirm 24–48 hours ahead to lock in your preferred FBO; last-minute outbound is possible from 4 hours notice when crew and aircraft are positioned locally.
