Mariscal Sucre International Airport

Mariscal Sucre International Airport (SEQM) sits in Tababela, 11 miles east of downtown Quito, Ecuador. The single 13,468 ft runway handles every current business jet at MTOW. Field elevation 7,874 ft, with year-round density-altitude considerations. Quito is the structural Andean gateway to Galápagos (connect via SEGS Baltra) and the Ecuadorian Amazon. Heavy density-altitude derating — runway length matters at MMTOW. Ground time to downtown Quito is 60 minutes (mountain roads); Cumbayá corporate corridor is 30.

It is located in the Tababela parish, about 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of Quito, and because of its location it is also colloquially known as Tababela Airport.

The airport opened in February 2013 and replaced the 53-year old airport of the same name. The airport is named after independence leader Antonio José de Sucre. It was the first 5-star airport in the Western Hemisphere as rated by Skytrax.
