General information

The Aerovía has five stations, one is technical and does not receive passengers. It has 154 cabins with capacity for ten passengers. During the Covid-19 pandemic, capacity was restricted to five users per cabin. In Durán, users can use the urban buses of two cooperatives at no additional cost, which take them to the most representative populated sectors of the neighboring canton.[1]

To take the Aerovía , passengers must buy a card (tarjeta) for $2, on which they can put funds they will use to pay for their trips. Each one-way trip costs $0.70 (or $ 0.35 for those who benefit from a reduced fare). Senior citizens, children and teenagers, students, and disabled people benefit from a reduced fare.[2]

In general, the Aerovía operates from 5:30 AM to 9:30 PM. During the various states of emergency in Ecuador during 2022, the operating hours were often reduced.

Going from one terminal station to the other takes 17 minutes.

Construction and operation

The Aerovía was built between 2018 and 2021. It started operating in January 2021. It was built and is operated by a consortium, Consorcio Aerosuspendido Guayaquil, that is made up of Sofratesa and POMA.[3]

Infrastructure

The Aerovía consists of a cable car line (Guayaquil - Durán Line) with a length of 4.1 km, 5 stations and 154 cabins.
