With some recent flight report errors, I've added the old Quito Ecuador airport which closed in 2013. See the map above. Today's airport is SEQM so please use that airport (which is in our schedule database). If there is an error and a pilot flies to SEQQ unintentionally, it will not raise a flight report flag. I may eventually move some of the historical flights to SEQQ eventually.
BTW, SEQQ was one of the most dangerous airports to fly into/out of because of the mountains. I almost added it to the white knuckles but didn't want pilots to have to go hunting for scenery for an accomplishment.

Thanks for the post Andrew.
I was one of the pilots landing at SEQQ  Please don't fire me. There is a good freeware scenery available right here:
http://www.guayaquil-fir.org/es/descargas/descargas_para_pilotos/escenarios_ecuador/Nuevo-Aeropuerto-Mariscal-Sucre-%28SEQM%29/
The new airport has a longer runway and is 1500 feet lower in elevation. A B772 can take almost 40.000lbs (8% of the total aircraft weight) extra on a typical departure compared to the old airport.

I visited Quito few times. When I fly first time there, controllers asked me to move to new airport with that link. As Luc said, it's a good scenery as a freeware.
I also recommend SEGU(Guayaquil) scenery if someone interested to fly into there. Pretty good!
Here is the link for SEGU: http://www.guayaquil-fir.org/es/descargas/descargas_para_pilotos/escenarios_ecuador/Escenario-Guayaquil-(SEGU)/
I took few shots after landing SEGU.
