Airports in Ecuador

I was air america pilot here I 1980s. Best to be well trained before arrival. Mountains 3 sides. Severe drop off cliffs on both ends. There is no go around unless you are in a fighter. Approach straight in land to west take off to east. Always low ceiling and fog mist. Surrounded by river. We could get loaded c130 in here. Barely. Had a leased dehavilland that was better and safer. Oh yes there is a volcano off the east end about 7 miles outnon otherwise flat terrain. This is a real got ya if you are not paying attention. Also we are missing a c130 and crew out there somewhere. If you find wreckage report it.

Thank you. I've changed the airport entry in the database.

Please email contact info for above person if he is associated with the airport. Personal contact from youth.

There is scheduled airline service as i saw firsthand, but only 1 flight per day.

Emetebe Avionetas

info from tripwolf as Emetebe's website is up and down:

Emetebe Avionetas (offices in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Ayora and Puerto Villamil are given in the corresponding sections below; in Guayaquil T04-229 2492) offer inter-island flights in two light twin-engine aircraft. Two daily flights operate between Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (San Cristóbal), Baltra and Puerto Villamil (Isabela), most days except Sunday, but this varies with passenger demand. All fares US$158 one way, including taxes.
