As of this Tuesday, the commercial operation returns to Latacunga Cotopaxi Airport with cargo flights from the Colombian company Aercaribe.

Finally, on Tuesday 15 of January of 2019 commercial operations resume or return at the Cotopaxi Alternative Airport in the city of Latacunga, with the expected and postponed flights of the Colombian cargo airlines, Aerocaribe Cargo.

These flights that will initially start with a weekly flight on Tuesdays, and they will be the expected return of commercial operations to the main airport of the sierra-center of the country, after what Cargolux will cease its operation in this terminal in June 2017.

The intention of Aercaribe was published in this space in May of 2017 and after almost 2 years this long-awaited arrival is fulfilled, which will allow the resumption of the trade of goods, mainly flowers, from Latacunga to the world.

With the current permit to operate until 4 weekly flights, Aercaribe becomes the first airline to use the new benefits for airports managed by the DGAC and will allow the terminal to return to commercial operation and be in the eye of the airlines, where potentially also, would arrive Viva Air with flights from Bogotá and there was even talk of a Hub by complying with the characteristics of a more economical low cost operation.

Now, The challenge is to resume passenger flights as a cheaper alternative to Quito and continue to attract cargo airlines given the commercial export potential of the area around the airport..

It should be noted that the airport has never been closed or inoperative, since it maintains a constant presence of flights of the Ecuadorian Air Force, private flights from various parts of the world and from Ecuadorian Aviation School.

This Tuesday I will be at the arrival of the first flight, Don't miss the coverage on my social networks ✈️.

  1. Finally, a wasted installation made some sense, even though it may affect Quito, they should consider it as the natural alternate for Mariscal Sucre when he suffers from weather problems.
    Good for Latacunga

  2. It will be of movement until Quito and the DAC allow it
    An aerocaribe flight is nothing
    One swallow does not make a summer
    We'll see I hope I'm wrong

  3. I hope I know about Viva Air if the rates are lowered and they turn it into a low cost airport like the one in El Palomar it will do super well
