QUITO AIRPORT OPERATES WITHIN GOVERNMENTAL AND MUNICIPAL PROVISIONS

The Municipality of the Metropolitan District of Quito, using its powers to oversee the city’s airport service and in accordance with the decrees of the National Government, confirmed that international arrivals at the Mariscal Sucre International Airport of flights with passengers whose final or intermediate destination is the city of Quito will not be allowed.

The city authority also emphasizes that international cargo flights, aircraft that arrive without passengers to Quito to carry passengers abroad, as well as military and air ambulance flights, contemplated in Ministerial Agreement 003 of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works, will be permitted to operate.

Corporación Quiport, the concessionaire in charge of the administration and operation of Quito’s airport, reiterates its predisposition to abide by all state, national and local guidelines, framed in the law and in the powers of each establishment.

According to the Municipality, these are policies that focus on favoring the wellbeing of the general population.

We ask citizens to follow health recommendations, avoid listening to and replicating rumors and false information, and to report through official channels.
