Aéroport le Plus Proche de l'Équateur

22

km from equator

Mariscal Sucre Airport in Quito sits just 22 km south of the equator, making it one of the closest major airports to the 0-degree latitude line.

Explication

Quito's location at 0.11 degrees south latitude places it almost exactly on the equator. The airport is also notable for its high elevation at 2,400 meters above sea level. Several smaller airstrips in equatorial countries sit even closer to the line, but Quito is the most significant international airport near this geographic marker.
