Airports
There are two international airports in Ecuador : the Mariscal Sucre Airport in Quito or the Simon Bolivar Airport in Guayaquil. We recommend that you fly to Guayaquil (bus ride to Loja is shorter…) unless you want to take a flight to Loja.

From these airports, you will be able to take a flight to the Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport in Catamayo which is located at 35 km from the city of Loja. Here are the fares for domestic flights between Loja and Quito/Guayaquil (information as of June 2008 ) :
