American Airlines and its flights to Ecuador

Today we will talk about American Airlines and its flights to equator, pero más exactly of the planes that this important airlineíNea American uses Quito and Guayaquil for their flights.

American Airlines suspends the Dallas route – quit since august 2018: www.nlarenas.com/2018/03/american-airlines-suspende-la-ruta-dallas-a-quito.

Before a recent request to the Airulla CNACíNEA to modify your operation permitón to and from Ecuador, where it has requested to increase its current Boeing aircraft 737, Boeing 757, Boeing 767 y Airbus A319, The Airbus A320 and Airbus A321 It is important to analyze this order and whaté can imply for the service that this airlineíNEA offers in the PAís.

It should be remembered that the Airbus A321 the airlineídonate to operó for something más de 3 weeks between Miami and Guayaquil during December 2016 last, in replacement of the flight that the airlineíNEA use with Boeing 737-800. With the incorporate usón del Airbus A320/A321 podrímasters see two situations:

• Better service with new planes, with entertainment of first and new interiors of American Más cómodes.
• ReductionóN of offer and capacity between Ecuador and Miami.

The first point is clearly an excellent benefit for the user, what to leaveíATRás not so far away from the Boeing fleet 757 especially, but to the detriment of the point 2, where there will beíto a clear reductionóN of supply and capacity comparedóN with the B757. The aforementioned airbus couldíto move less passengers and load, pudéIt was given a case similar to what happenedó time agoás when Latam Ecuador Airlines changedó already Boeing 767 by Airbus 319 on the Quito route – Miami, in the long runó to the suspendedón of the route by 1 añO.

El Airbus A320 Podría, I say couldíA for autonomous themesía, become a replacement for the Airbus A319 that covers the route 5 times a week between Dallas and Quito, but there will beíWhat to do the CáLulles, taking into account that the A319 fulfills the flight from Fort Worth to Mariscal Sucre, más long of the airíNEA for this type of avióN and the Autonom DifferenceíA is something más de 400 miles between both aircraft of the same family, but we'll see, Although it has been known that this route carries a good occupationón and profitability, so in high season they have gone up to 1 daily flight between DFW and UIO, so the A320 sounds like an excellent candidate to continue strengthening the route.

The other possibility is the definitive replacement of the Boeing 737 by Airbus A321 in Guayaquil, where does it fly 14 times a week (2 Daily flights), If the exam that the aviónotó Between Miami and Guayaquil it was favorable Claro Está. You have to take into account, that this reductionóN of offer and capacity that the airlineíne implementíin the país has as great justification, the reductionón gradual on the trip abroad of Ecuadorians and the minor Númere foreigners traveling to Ecuador. Projections indicate at least one reductionón of the -5% for Quito and from -12% for Guayaquil.

In the case of Quito, where does it fly 14 times a week (2 Daily flights), If we see a reductionón de la debt surgeryón del Boeing 757 por Airbus A321 (main candidate in my view) to beíStrong, above all in the ease of luggage, that we all know that when traveling to Miami, you rarely come back with just one suitcase ;).

History American Airlines in Ecuador

His presence in the PAíwith se holdíTo say that it goes back a long time ATRás con la primera operationóInternational N in Ecuador with Panagra – Pan American-Grace Airways and later with Eastern Airlines with the routes inherited from Braniff International Airways, said routes subsequently beíBuired by American Airlines to Eastern to operate them from the Miami International Airport.

With the passing of theñOs La surgeryón in Quito is consolidatedó, While Guayaquil was a rotación permanent of sec endsún the éLittle and demand between Boeing 757 y Boeing 737-800. For him 2 013 sales reached USD 68 million and with the exit of service of the Airbus 300 the operationón in Guayaquil changedó Al Boeing 767-300ER offering a better and modern service for the city Más big of the país.
