Flights to Guayaquil
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Guayaquil is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,154 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport | GYE | 4 km (2 mi) | 9,154 ft | 19 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,154 ft, GYE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 19 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
