How to get to or from Quito airport during the state of exception? I tell you everything you should know for these days.
Due to the demonstrations that are currently taking place in the provinces of Pichincha, Cotopaxi and Imbabura, The Government of Ecuador has decided to decree a state of exception in these territories, which also brings mobility restrictions that could complicate the transfer of travelers to and from the Quito Mariscal Sucre International Airport.
For this reason I have created this guide so that you can start or finish your trip as calmly as possible., knowing everything you need to know about the restrictions that 30 days will apply in the provinces indicated above.
How to get to the Airport in a state of emergency?
First we must understand that the restriction of mobility starts from the 18 June 2022 in the schedule:
- From the 22:00 hours until 05:00 hours.
With this starting point, we must understand that air operations in the Quito airport develop throughout the day, even having a peak of flights in the early morning hours, especially towards the USA, That is why it is important to know how to go or return without setbacks..
It is not the first time that we as travelers have faced this situation in Ecuador, so we know very well how to move to the airports with ease, and this information I will share with you.
- Are you traveling or arriving on a flight? To return home or go up to Quito you must present:
- Boarding pass or flight reservation where the day is clearly displayed, departure time and airline.
- Traveler's ID or passport.
- Are you going to drop off or pick up someone?
- Equally, you must present a copy of the boarding pass or reservation of the person you were going to drop off or pick up at the airport where the day is clearly shown, departure time and airline.
- Copy of the traveler's identity card or passport.
- Do you work at the airport? You will be able to move without problems carrying your TCA or credential from the company where you work.
You must present this information in case traffic agents, military or police carry out checks on the road you are on, so always have these documents at hand.
What is the status of the flights?
Some international and other domestic flights have begun to be canceled, so I recommend you check with your airline permanently to know the status of it.
Depart earlier than normal to the airport.
Are the airports operating?
Yes, at the moment all airports are operational. I will notify you of any changes here and on my social networks.
How are the access roads??
Road conditions change rapidly, Therefore, I recommend that you follow the AMT Quito Twitter account for updated information..

Be more specific in your recommendations that making travelers aware of the problems what they need is that you guide them in how to do it, that is, how to get to or leave the airport
more concrete? I have all the answers in this post, what was not clear to you? How to get? I clearly say that you consult the AMT Twitter account where they regularly publish the status of the tracks.
The post intends to inform about the necessary documentation for the transfer, not indicate the means to do so. In any case, It would be very helpful for people to share their experiences. Thus, those of us who are going to travel soon can take advantage of the information from these experiences and also be bearers of useful information.. I will travel the 24 June to Quito on an international flight. I'll let you know how it goes
Thank you very much Diego for your contribution. I recommend that when you land you enter the AMT Twitter account, since the state of the tracks changes very quickly.
