International Airport Review

Aeropuerto Internacional de Quito is Ecuador’s busiest airport. Inaugurated in 2013, the airport is currently under an ambitious expansion. It began its expansion in November 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all construction was halted in March 2020.
The total investment for the project is US$74.2 million, financed through Quiport’s own resources.
Components of the current project include the expansion of the passenger terminal building by 17,000 square metres of usable space across four levels. This will allow the addition of new commercial and operational areas.
The Aircraft parking platform will also gain 35,000m2. High-resistance hydraulic concrete will be used to support the weight of all the aircraft. The new apron is designed to accommodate one Code E aircraft (e.g., Boeing 777, Airbus A350) with a contact position or two Code C aircraft (e.g., Boeing 737, Airbus A320) at remote positions.
