About Jipijapa Airport
Jipijapa Airport is a small domestic airport serving Jipijapa and the surrounding coastal province of Manabí in Ecuador. Although it carries the Jipijapa name, the airport is located near Montecristi, about 5 km from Montecristi and roughly 40 km northwest of Jipijapa city centre, with Manta and Portoviejo also nearby.
Because of its compact size, the airport primarily handles smaller aircraft and regional operations rather than large-scale commercial flights. It has a single runway and a small terminal with basic passenger facilities, so travelers arriving in the wider region often combine it with the larger airport in Manta for additional scheduled connections.
The airport is reached by road from Jipijapa, Montecristi and Manta, with taxis, private transfers, chauffeur services and car rental providing onward travel. Pre-arranged transfers are useful for reaching Jipijapa town, the coast and other parts of Manabí.
