International Fixed-Wing Air Ambulance From and To Ecuador
Ecuador, located on the equator in northwestern South America, is one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world, spanning the Andean highlands, Amazon rainforest, Pacific coastal plains, and the Galapagos Islands. Near the summit of Mount Chimborazo lies the point farthest from the Earth’s center due to the planet’s equatorial bulge and extreme elevation—creating altitude and performance considerations for aircraft operating at high-elevation airports such as Quito. This combination of diverse terrain, elevation, and regional remoteness makes Ecuador highly dependent on international aviation connectivity for long-distance medical repatriation and global patient transfers requiring fixed-wing air ambulance transport.
The country is served by two primary international gateways—Mariscal Sucre International Airport (SEQM / UIO) in Quito and José JoaquÃn de Olmedo International Airport (SEGU / GYE) in Guayaquil—which support international fixed-wing air ambulance operations and provide essential long-range connectivity for worldwide patient transport.
