Location

Macará, Ecuador

Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra Airport (IATA: MRR, ICAO: SEMA) is a small regional airport serving Macará, a city in the Loja Province of southern Ecuador near the Peruvian border. The airport is named after José María Velasco Ibarra, a prominent Ecuadorian statesman who served as president of Ecuador five times. The airport serves as a modest air link for the Macará region, which is an important agricultural and commercial border zone. Due to its limited infrastructure and low passenger volumes, scheduled commercial services have historically been sparse or intermittent. Macará itself sits along the Macará River, which forms part of the Ecuador-Peru border, making the airport of some strategic regional significance for cross-border travel and commerce.
