Cotopaxi International Airport — Latacunga, Ecuador

LTX is Cotopaxi International Airport, serving Latacunga in Ecuador's central highlands, named after the nearby active Cotopaxi volcano, one of the highest in the world. Historically the airport has functioned partly as a joint civil-military airfield with Ecuadorian Air Force presence, and it has occasionally served as a cargo and alternate diversion airport given its proximity to Quito, roughly an hour to the north. LTX has seen periods of limited or suspended commercial passenger service over the years, with cargo, charter, and military operations often more consistent than scheduled airline routes. The surrounding Cotopaxi region is popular for mountaineering, hiking, and access to Cotopaxi National Park, giving LTX potential relevance to adventure tourism.
