Scheduled Closures at Quito International Airport

Dear friends and colleagues,

Last Tuesday, Quiport S.A., the concessionaire of Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport, announced scheduled runway closures for preventative maintenance between April and September 2025.

Air operations will be suspended from 02:00 to 14:00 on the following dates:

• April: Saturdays 5th and 12th
• May: Saturdays 10th, 17th, and 31st
• June: Saturdays 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th
• September: Saturdays 6th, 13th, and 20th

Saturdays were selected for this maintenance work as they are the days with fewer flight operations.

As always, ensuring a smooth and safe travel experience for our guests is our top priority. Your account manager will promptly inform you of alternatives and assist with rescheduling flights and tours that are affected by these closures.

We appreciate your understanding and regret any inconvenience these disruptions may cause. However, this preventative measure is essential to maintaining the safety and efficiency of air operations at Quito Airport.
