Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra Airport — Macará, Ecuador

Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra Airport serves Macará, a border town in southern Ecuador's Loja province near the Peruvian frontier. MRR is named after a former Ecuadorian president and functions as a small regional airport supporting limited domestic flights and general aviation in this remote agricultural area, known for producing coffee, rice, and other crops. Due to Macará's location along a key overland crossing point into Peru, the airport has historically supported trade and cross-border travel logistics alongside road transport. Scheduled commercial service at MRR has been inconsistent over the years, often dependent on smaller regional Ecuadorian carriers. The airport remains a modest but locally important link between this border region and Ecuador's larger cities like Quito or Loja.
