After stopping flying from Latacunga, Cargolux Airlines increases its flights to Quito, solicitando pasar de una operationón of 4 weekly flights to 1 daily (7 weekly).
the airínea from Luxembourg, what operationó by the any less 6 años en Latagunga, ha mostrado una fuerte estrategía de desarrollo de su ruta a Ecuador tras haber empezado a volar a Quito de manera regular, recordemos que lo hizo por un tiempo de manera temporal mientras el Aeropuerto de Latacunga era remodelado, esto en el Antiguo Mariscal Sucre.
Cargolux startó su operationón regular a Quito the 2 July 2017, en ese entonces operaba hasta 4 weekly frequencies, pedido que se formalizó the 19 august 2016, en ese momento volaba únicamente a Latacunga con 3 weekly flights, ese pedido hacia pensar que la operación al Aeropuerto Alternativo de Cotopaxi era sostenible o cumplía con lo que la aerolínea esperaba de la ruta en cuanto a rentabilidad.

Con el paso del tiempo y durante el 2016, iniciaron los rumores de que Cargolux quería volar a Quito en vez de Latacunga, although in its operating permitón le permite volar a ambos aeropuertos, but for profitability to beípractically impossible, taking into account the fenceíbecause there are among them less than 25 kilómeters or 1 hour and half.
For the beginning of 2017, the rumors became más strong and knownó that he 31 June beíhim úlast flight to Latacunga and, incidentally, putting the temporary end of regular international cargo flights from that terminal.
With the first Cargolux flights to Quito, the strong decision could be seenón of the aerolíline and whyé he wantsían volar a Quito.
¿Becauseé fly to Quito instead of Latacunga?
The answer is quite fácil, for the load. The main export force from the central Sierra of the countryís are flowers and the main producing companies are located in Cayambe, less than 45 minutes north of Quito Airport, so carrying this load to Latacunga impliesíto a longer transfer time and therefore, higher operating costs for flower growers.
Además, Eastán the great advantages of the new Mariscal Sucre in terms of cold roomsíos, warehouses and cargo processing.
