Mariscal Lamar Airport

Mariscal Lamar Airport (SECU) is a medium airport in Cuenca, Ecuador. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code SECU or IATA code CUE. It sits in South America.

Mariscal Lamar Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Mariscal Lamar Airport sits at 8,306 ft above sea level. At this elevation, density-altitude effects are significant year-round. Operators should plan for reduced engine performance and longer takeoff rolls on warm days, and many flight departments require runway-analysis software for departures.

Local operations run on America/Guayaquil. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for SECU updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.
