The Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de Quito is the newly opened international airport at the end of February 2013 Ecuadorian capitalQuito.
background
The airport was from 2006 to 2013 at a distance of around 14 kilometers from the city center northeast of Quito Newly built in a neighboring valley for around 470 million euros ($ 683 million) and is considered one of the most modern airports in Latin America. The new airport is located on the area of the Commune Tababela.
At 4,100 meters, the new runway is one of the longest in the world. On July 2, 203, the very first passenger aircraft ever landed on the Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de Quito. The airport was officially opened on February 19, 2013, and flight operations began on February 20, 2013.
The reason for the new airport building was the unfavorable location of the old airport in the northern part of the city itself: because of the approach lane over the inhabited city area, because of the short runways and because of the city's altitude in an area with even higher mountains, the old airport was considered dangerous. fatal accidents occurred again and again: the old "Aeropuerto Internacional Mariscal Sucre", which opened in 1960, was closed when the new airport went into operation.
