It took me an hour to find anything about the new airport. It shows up on Google Maps. I couldn't find it elsewhere. It is actually about 12 miles east of UIO as the crow flies but 1 1/2 to 2 hours from Quito. One mountain road goes there. Ecuadorian mountain roads are tough going. Maybe others had better success than I did, but it is on Google maps.
