Cubana de Aviacion in Ecuador

Many have passedñyou from fatíI say damn toéreo de Cuban from Aviacón in Ecuador, specíphysically in Quito, I'm sure everyone remembers or has orído talk about this.

Updateón 04/10/2017:

The operation order process is not progressingóCubana de Aviación regular flightón:

El pedido de surgeryóregular n presented in June by Cubana de Aviación, has been placed on hold and archived, since the airlineíNea Deskistsó to continue with the process by not having delivered the designationón updated from the competent authority of the Government of Cuba that accredits them to obtain the requested regular service, pese of a queó one prórogation to do it until 10 of July.

With this the process was archived, but the airínea podrá continue with this process, of existingés, as long as they comply with the designationón official and the corresponding payment for the trámite. Así, We now have to wait to see if Cubana will returná to start the process andí to be able to have it again flying passengers in Ecuadorian skies. We will update…

Since that accident much has been saidífrom this aerolínea, including operational demands and impedimentsón of the aerolínea in Ecuador, but what many do not know or have not realized, is that Cubana de Aviación has been operating in Quito for many yearsños, but úsolely as a cargo business, where you do at least 1 weekly flight from Havana with T planesúPolev 204, máwith Data Sobre Su surgeryón what is, for now cargo in the post.

But this oneñor a potential change is coming in your operationón in Ecuador, a few days agoías publicé the application for an operating permitóCubana de Aviación regular flightón, where the following is detailed:

in this application, as you can see, the airínea requests flights to 3 times a week between Havana and Quito with up to fifth freedom of the air and what alsoén draws attentionón is that he asks to fly from Havana to Guayaquil with return víTo Quito, with up 2 weekly frequencies, aiming to serve a new market in Guayaquil and take what Tame left behindó to fly to this destination from Quito in June.

The interesting thing is that Cubana plans to return to Ecuador, but this time with modern equipment Airbus A319 and Airbus A320, leaving in Cuba his fleet of Russian and Ukrainian planes, what isá made by 6 Antonov An-158 for sun flightséshort range stics, 4 Ilyushin IL96-300 IL96, Ilyushin-IL-18, 4 Tupolev TU204-100CE and others like 4 Embraer Bandeirante-110 and a pair ATR42-42-300 whose operational status is unknown. Spaghettién lease 2 ATR72-500 a Solenta Aviation y un Boeing 737 a  Blue Panorama. In addition to these owned and leased aircraft, the airílease between 3 a 5 European Airbus aircraft of the above models, this in order to fly to países that could limit access by permissions, age or certificationón to their Antonov planes, Ilyushin o Tupolev. These Airbus family aircraft 320 are leased on a wet lease basis, which includes crewón minor and major to the company Avion Express.

It is expected that until the end ofñO, once and yesí Cuban obtains operating permitón in Ecuador, the flights start, to then be able to know the días de operationón, itinerary and flight schedule from which to beíat the first sprayínew passenger line in Quito so farñO.

¿Cómo será the return?

Cuban from Aviacón, if they authorize their return, I will do itá with low average noiseático, taking into account that there are relatives who have lawsuits involved with the airlineíand it was even learned that there is a group trial to prevent the operation.ón in the país, in the functionón Judicial there are 3 cases against Cubana de Aviación for dañthe morale.

The planes tooéto beán a change to re-enter Ecuadorian society, leaving behindás any connectionón with Russian planes, that in the púgeneral war are considered «insecure», the airídon't useá Airbus aircraft, like those of any aerosolínea, this to gain confidence and good comments to improve your image.

Although fatal accidents in Ecuador have been several, Cubana's is one of the más remembered and this same topic willá that Aerol's strategyínea, to my way of thinking, Easté focused on the Cuban market and not necessarily on the Ecuadorian market to fill its flights and occupy the position left by Tame.
