Ecuador Airlines AEROEC runs out of track, at least for now, based on the most recent information in the public domain that could be accessed.

It's been more than 1 year when published in Twitter the first permits and authorizations that Aerolineas del Ecuador AEROEC S.A requested and obtained from the National Civil Aviation Council.

The airline planned at that point to have its base of operations at the José Joaquín de Olmedo Airport in Guayaquil., to fly to high-demand destinations like New York, Miami, Lima, Buenos Aires and Galapagos as the first stage of the project.

For example, the routes and frequencies requested from Galapagos initially were denied., pending the necessary and mandatory environmental impact study to fly to the Enchanted Islands:

Despite this negative, the airline obtained an operating permit favorable to New York, Miami and Lima, where it would operate with several weekly flights, initially on Boeing equipment 737-800 u -800 and with projection to operate in the future and according to the route and demand merits, incorporate Boeing equipment 767 o Boeing 777 for greater capacity and autonomy.

Another route that the airline requested to operate was Buenos Aires, although this was deferred at the time because there was no more availability of frequencies between the two countries thanks to bilateral agreements. Remember that at that time Tame was flying using frequencies of Aerolineas Argentinas and LAN Ecuador as it was known, so if at this time the airline would try to apply to this route, could get permission.

And now that?

Once the new airline was revoked from its operating permits to the indicated destinations, since for more than 1 year did not comply with the certification process mandated by the Ecuadorian regulation for new operators, the company must request these permits again and start, if you want/can/or deem convenient, permits for routes and operation.

This potential new airline in Ecuador generated great expectations in the local and even regional aeronautical environment for destinations such as Buenos Aires. Airbus press photo We start a review of the most important news, there was great hope that AEROEC would begin its flights, especially in young commercial pilots who are looking to get a job in a local environment that currently offers very few opportunities due to the contraction of the market, fewer planes, fewer routes and fewer passengers. Many expected a soon call of pilots, for the first plane that would have come in September 2016 thanks to the direct support of Boeing who would have been supervising and directly supporting this project.

What happened?

Well it's very hard to know., I have tried to have official information again from the owners of the company, but it has not been possible to have an answer. Playing a little with the imagination, It is not difficult to think that given the air reality of the country, they preferred to postpone the start of operations and progress in the certification process until the market improves and there are positive signs of improvement to make the millionaire investment that a new airline implies..

We will see over time if this airline manages to take off or remains as just an attempt at a project that never took off..
