One of the most modern airports visited in Latin America. Friendly service and supreme operations (incl. handling of Galapagos specialties).
Plenty of ATMs enable stacking up often necessary cash beyond individual teller daily limits - well done!response / report this review -

Very efficient, clean, and convenient. The airport business center is a great plus for people with a long layover.

The best little airport I’ve been to. It’s run very well. Clean bathrooms, nice restaurants, properly organized layout, and the planes are where they say they are (Mexico could take a lesson here) 😜

Nice modern airport. There is no ATM in the departure gates. If you need money there is a ATM on the ground floor outside the arrivals. Taxi ride to the city is $25 USD. But from the city to the airport is $20 USD. There is a taxi booth inside where you collect the bag. Ask for the discount card at the taxi counter. They will give you $5 USD off the return trip to the airport.

At Quito Aeroport, or Mariscal Sucre. A one hour taxi ride outside the city on a plateau. Recently opened, beautifully designed, comfortable and definitely 21st century. The decision to move the airport out of the center of Quito was made due to four recent plane collisions with tall modern buildings on Avenue Gonzalez Suarez. There is a 2.00 per person bus ride from Quito to the airport. From North Quito, the Rio Coca bus area. It is a green bus with no air conditioning. You pay on the bus. There should be a sign on the lower left window. But ask the driver for sure.
There is luggage storage in the airport. Be prepared to pay up to 8.00 per piece if your luggage is a small carry on. We negotiated a small locker for 15.00 for 24 hours. We are lounging in Juan Valdez Cafe on a couch waiting for late evening take off to the US.response / report this review -

I am based in Quito and travel frequently. Not only is the UIO airport among the most expensive on the content ( in terms of what they charge airlines in fees + taxes) but it is probably also the worst run. Due to the high air fares the airport runs at an estimated 50% of capacity and despite that it is worse managed than many airports operating at over capacity:
1) baggage handling: priority tags are referential at best. If one is lucky the priority baggage comes out first but most of the time it doesn’t. Again, the airport is small and not operating at capacity, yet waiting times for luggage often exceed 30 - 50 minutes ( after having gone through migration), not even speaking of oversized luggage which tends to take over an hour. This holds true for both carriers that travel to and from europe (klm and Iberia) as well as the U.S. connections.
Oh and if it rains, expect your luggage to come out soaking wet.
2) airport personal is lackluster at best. The very few seats in the baggage waiting area are often occupied by baggage handlers leaving no where to wait for passengers.
3) landing slots/customs: The two biggest planes KLM 777 and iberia 340 arrive close to each other, leading to congestion in the custom check. This can take up to an other hour once the baggage has arrived.
Bottom line is that the arrival experience is really bad (the worst I have seen internationally) and not justifiable for the costs the airport charges the airlines. This inevitably leads to higher ticket prices and makes ecuadoe less interesting for tourists who have better connected and cheaper options in the region (Peru/ Columbia/ Costa Rica/ etc). I am confident this airport could be run at lower cost with higher efficiency, but well, this is Ecuador and the complascient work culture means this will likey not change.response / report this review -

I travel through UIO 3x year. Airy open airport. Customs reasonably fast. There is a line for seniors people dont know about. There world class roses are on display. Taxis readily available. Food court and pharmacy across the street. ATM access everywhere. Roads to the city safe. Tababela, Yaruqui, Puembo 15min away. Privacy near LATAM room. Wifi is only available near gates. On arrival, make your call home before going through customs. This is probably the best airport in South America next to GRU. Always trust my reviews..

No WiFi in the departures area. LATAM staff everywhere but only 1 person checking in bags. Food options are woeful, especially when the prices are as much as you pay in the US, I doubt any of that money goes to the staff.
Positives - lots of places to charge your phone however most of the USB outlets were brokenresponse / report this review -

Surprising first-world amenities in a country so new to Western Civilization. Friendly, helpful staff Security is everywhere We had a taxi meet us there, as usual, and it was easy to go through immigration and customs.

Clean and a lot of spaces. Very friendly people and migration officers. Airport itself offers no free WiFi in the departures gate area. Uncomfortable seats everywhere. No healthy food, just pizza and some kind like that.

It's a very good airport, a little cold for the normal weather in Quito, but once you are after the migration part it's very comfortable and actually the Wi-Fi it's pretty good.

My American Airlines flight was cancelled at 2:00 in the morning. It took over 5 hours to get rebooked, on a flight that didn't leave for another 7 hours. There was no option to go to a hotel, just stay at the airport and "rest". No area was established to rest in, and every place I attempted to get rest in, I was told to move. When I asked where I could go to rest, I was told there is a VIP lounge in the departure area. However, I can't get to the departure area until 3 hours before my flight. No airport employees were concerned about the 200+ passengers left to fend for themselves. No employees provided any suggestions for where you could go to rest. While the airport is new and clean, the lack of service ruined this experience for me.

Please ensure you have feet covers for people you force to walk barefoot on your floor. It's hardly believable that you can't afford to buy plastic bags for people to put on their feet to avoid contamination with fungus. It's a health issue. Thank you!

The "security" men, or some of them, are really unprofessional . They had no idea how to work respectful and smart like German Security personal in the German Airports.
And with me, as Syrian, they were really rassist! I hate themresponse / report this review -

Probably one of the best airports in Sur de America. It's clean, modern, and relatively efficient. I'd rate it five stars, but as a transportation hub its connection to other hubs via efficient transit plays into its rating. UIO is very far from Quito proper and there is no efficient direct transportation to/from the city.

It is a new clean airport with fast wifi. However it is way outside town. The restaurant choices are limited, overpriced, and not very good. On the plus side the airport is generally not all that busy so is quiet and relaxed as far as airports go. The Guayaquil airport has much more character.
