Scheduled closures of Quito airport for preventive maintenance

Corporación Quiport, concessionaire of Quito International Airport, informs our passengers, users and the general public that, due to preventive maintenance work on the runway, air operations will be suspended on the following dates:

• Saturdays April 5th and 12th

• Saturdays May 10th, 17th and 31st

• Saturdays June 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th

• Saturdays September 6th, 13th and 20th

Closing hours will be from 02:00 to 14:00.

Saturdays have been chosen to carry out preventive maintenance work because they are the days when there are fewer air operations. No runway closures have been planned for the months of July and August so as not to affect the peak summer season. These works are essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of air operations and prevent unforeseen closures for emergency corrective maintenance.

The closure schedule has been coordinated and authorized by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC). Likewise, the airlines that operate at the airport have been notified through the respective NOTAM* issued by the DGAC, which is the official communication of universal character for those involved in the aviation activity.

Although any changes in itineraries, rescheduling or cancellations will be promptly reported by the airlines, we recommend that passengers with flights scheduled on these dates contact their airline directly for updated information. Contacts are available at: https://www.aeropuertoquito.aero/aerolineas/.

We appreciate your understanding and regret any inconvenience that these works may cause. Their completion is essential to keep the airport infrastructure in optimal conditions.

*The NOTAM published refers to the months of April, May and June. The NOTAM for September closures will be published within three months prior to the closing date as required by the regulations.

Alert about fake profiles that use the name of Quiport and the Quito airport for scams

Corporación Quiport, concessionaire of the Quito airport, alerts citizens about the presence of fake profiles on social networks that use its name and that of the airport for fraudulent purposes. These deceptive accounts publish non-existent job offers or promote the supposed sale of lost or abandoned suitcases.

It has been identified that these profiles request money from interested parties under different pretexts, such as payment for trainings that according to them, guarantees a job or deposits to acquire suitcases with valuable content. To give greater credibility to their publications, the scammers create fake profiles and include comments from supposed beneficiaries.

Corporación Quiport calls on the community not to be fooled and reiterates that:

• Neither the Quito airport or Quiport sell lost or abandoned suitcases.

• They do not offer jobs through social networks or request money for hiring processes.

Since these scams are spread on social media and the perpetrators constantly create new accounts, citizens are urged to remain alert, avoid sharing personal information and report any suspicious profile on the corresponding social network.

For official information, it is recommended to consult only the communication channels of Quiport and the Quito airport:
