The ZEDE Special Economic Development Zone in the Quito airport It is built next to the southern headquarters of the international Mariscal Sucre, here the city will have its free zone.
Surely if you went to the airport in the last few months, be as a passenger or visitor, You could see that there is a large movement of earth and construction on the eastern side of the airport terminal towards its southern side. Several people have asked me if this is a terminal or platform expansion, but no, there the Special Economic Development Zone is built – Zede Quito.
The other great earth movement that takes place at the airport is north of the passenger terminal, where there will be an expansion of airport facilities.
Although talking about ZEDE is not a purely aeronautical topic that characterizes this website, It is important to communicate about this project that will bring significant growth for the airport in its economic importance as well as for the capital of Ecuador..

We couldn't stop talking about the air issue. This new business and investment center has a close and close relationship with aviation and will also bring growth in air traffic., both passengers where investors will come or leave Ecuador, promoting the growing hotel business in the area, but mainly air cargo traffic will be the main beneficiary..
The objective of ZEDE-Quito is to increase imports and, in turn, exports., Cargo demand to and from Ecuador will progressively increase, which would generate an increase in the number of cargo flights and even new cargo airlines, that together with the organic growth that Ecuadorian exports have had, could grow very significantly and positively for Ecuador.
