Bananas, sugar cane and cacao dominate the land around Bucay at the foot of the Ecuadorian Andes, and the Alba Elena strip fits that setting: a short runway for agricultural and light aircraft, without terminal, scheduled flights or customs post. It has no role in commercial air freight. Export goods from the area — mostly perishables — are processed at Guayaquil José Joaquín de Olmedo Airport (GYE) roughly 90 kilometres to the west, with Quito Mariscal Sucre (UIO) as Ecuador's second cargo gateway.
