Flights to Ambato
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ambato is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Cotopaxi International Airport (LTX), 38 km (24 mi) from the centre, whose 12,117-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotopaxi International Airport (regional) | LTX | 38 km (24 mi) | 12,117 ft | 9,205 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,117 ft, LTX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 9,205 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
