Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Cuenca to Quito.

What is the typical flight duration from Cuenca to Quito?

The flight from Cuenca to Quito covers about 196 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is 49 minutes, while the return leg from Quito to Cuenca takes about 58 minutes.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Cuenca to Quito?

Yes, LATAM Airlines and Avianca both fly non-stop from Cuenca to Quito, and both operate daily. LATAM runs 24 weekly flights while Avianca runs 15, giving roughly 39 non-stop flights a week between the two carriers.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Quito?

At Mariscal Sucre International Airport, ground transportation into Quito includes public buses, taxis, ride-share services like Uber and Cabify, private transfers, and car rentals from companies such as Sixt, Budget, and Europcar. The public bus is the cheapest option at about $2 and takes 60 to 90 minutes, while a taxi or Uber is the fastest at 40 to 60 minutes and typically costs $20 to $25. Taxis operated by Cooperativa Aeropuerto Mariscal Sucre and Asociación de Taxistas del Aeropuerto are available 24/7 and are the most commonly used way to reach the city center. Ride-share apps offer a convenient alternative, and car rental provides full autonomy for travelers wanting to explore beyond Quito.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Cuenca to Quito?

No red-eye or overnight flights operate from Cuenca to Quito — there are no nonstop red-eyes on this route, and no connecting itinerary has an overnight long leg.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Cuenca to Quito?

LATAM Airlines and Avianca are the airlines currently scheduled non-stop from Cuenca to Quito. LATAM operates 24 weekly flights, with departures spread throughout the day from early morning through evening, while Avianca operates 15 weekly flights with morning and evening departures. Both carriers fly the route daily.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Quito?

Quito has one commercial airport, Mariscal Sucre International Airport, located about 18 km east of downtown. It serves as the main gateway for the city and connects to domestic and international destinations.

How do I get to Mariscal Lamar Airport from the city center?

Mariscal Lamar Airport sits about 3 km from downtown Cuenca, right on Avenida España, and the easiest way to reach it is by taxi — they're always waiting in the center and the ride takes only a few minutes. The modern Cuenca Tramway Line 1 also stops directly at the airport station, with frequent service every 10 minutes or so on weekdays, making it the most popular budget option. City buses connect to the airport as well, and ride-hailing apps like Uber and InDriver operate in Cuenca, though taxis and the tram are generally faster for such a short trip. If you drive, the airport has a paid parking lot with 140 spaces, including a short free grace period for drop-offs.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Cuenca to Quito?

LATAM Airlines operates the most flights on this route, flying Airbus A319 aircraft. Avianca also flies non-stop between Cuenca and Quito, using Airbus A320 aircraft.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Cuenca to Quito?

From Cuenca to Quito, Avianca and LATAM Airlines are the carriers currently scheduled non-stop, both flying daily. Avianca is a Star Alliance member, while LATAM Airlines belongs to no alliance, so Star Alliance is the only alliance represented on this route. Other alliances may serve it via connections.
