By air
The airport is located to the east of town. The airline TAME tel./fax [07 - 701162] runs flights to and from Quito about three times a week, but check with them for latest times and fares. The other airline operating in this area is Austro Aereo [07 - 700939] which flies to Cuenca most days of the working week. There are also flights by the Air Force and missionary planes. These are difficult to get on but worth inquiring about.
