About This Airport

Unlike the road border at Rumichaca, which carries the bulk of Ecuador–Colombia trade, the airport at Tulcán (TUA) plays only a modest part. Perched near 2,950 metres, it is among Ecuador's highest fields, serving the Carchi provincial capital and its potato-and-dairy highlands. Scheduled flights are sporadic, historically toward Quito and Colombian Cali. With no significant cargo handling, regional air freight consolidates at Quito while goods cross the frontier by road.
