Flights to Manta
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Manta is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Eloy Alfaro International Airport (MEC), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,383 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eloy Alfaro International Airport (regional) | MEC | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,383 ft | 48 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,383 ft, MEC handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 48 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
