In that request, that was approved, The airline also added the Boeing aircraft to its operating permit 787 and Quito and/or Guayaquil with up to 5 weekly flights with third and fourth freedoms of the air.

One year in Guayaquil and they continue to grow
It is 17 December is the first year of the return of Air Europa to the country and the prospects in such a short time for the airline are very encouraging. It should be noted, what in the first 6 months of operations in Guayaquil, the airline transported more than 40 thousand passengers with an average occupancy of 80% with up 5 weekly frequencies.
In the operational report of the 6 months, Air Europa reported that the route to Guayaquil still had to continue maturing in order to later consider a direct operation to Quito and at that time it was reported that for the year 2019 The idea of Quito with flights on the Boeing was contemplated 787 Dreamliner, and thus not carry out the triangulation with Guayaquil. This change in the airline's plans may be due to some of the following reasons:
- Accelerated increase in demand from Quito (more of 100 daily passengers go from UIO to GYE to fly to Madrid).
- Connection problems from Quito with your partner Tame (delays, quota cancellations, surplus, etc.).
- Advance the opening to Quito so that demand gradually matures until the year 2019 and subsequently divide the markets as was the original reported plan.
