It is 2018 It has been a good year for Ecuadorian aviation, This is how passenger traffic goes in the airports of Quito and Guayaquil.
The 2 Ecuador's main airports have shown better results than previous years, although still far from his best years, but growing.
After years where growth has been low at these airports, which even led to the suspension of the construction of the new Daular Airport, the 2018 is much more positive and the entire airline industry is growing.
Some traditional media, in the wrong way, indicated days ago that growth, for example, in Guayaquil is so big, which would have doubled the international traffic of Quito, here we clarify this in details with statistical data as of July.
Statistics
With data from the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Ecuador – DGAC, we can see that this 2018 It has been very good in passengers transported to the two most important terminals in the country.
In a global form, In total, more than 5 million passengers in the first 7 months of the year.

The trend for this year indicates that Quito would reach 3 million domestic passengers and Guayaquil would pass the barrier of the 2 millions, both with a growth between 2 al 4%.

in the international, Quito Airport has transported more than 300 thousand more passengers than the Guayaquil Airport so far this 2018.
Analyzing the trend based on the first 7 months of the year, Quito could pass the barrier of 2 million and a half international passengers and Guayaquil would reach very close to the 2 million annually, also with a growth of between 2 al 4%.
The idea of this publication is to show that, no matter the difference in passengers transported by one airport or another, otherwise, what matters is that the Ecuadorian air market continues to recover and both terminals are growing, which translates into more tourists and more income for all the actors involved in the industry, including the entire economy of Ecuador, since aviation has always been an important indicator of growth.

Bright! Very good information Nicholas, It would be very good to publish the national and international cargo and passenger results at the beginning of the new year to see the evolution and growth.
There are expansion plans in Tababela of the passenger terminal? I have seen on Google Maps removal of Eucalyptus trees next to the terminal, not about the free zone that was already explained before.
Greetings.
Of course, for next year I will write about the final results. Yes, there will be an expansion of the platform and terminal.
