UPDATE 28/10/2071
From the 5 of November, Tame reduces 6 a 3 weekly flights on the Quito route – Bogota – Caracas flying on Sundays, Wednesday and Saturday, driven by a drop in demand and also as a measure to protect its operational safety, given the problems presented by the operation in Caracas. Tame informed that he has a period of 60 days for the Venezuelan authorities to take action on the matter, opposite case, will suspend the route. Venezuela currently maintains a debt of $6 million dollars with the Ecuadorian State airline.
further, since January 2018, frequencies would be reduced to just 2 weekly flights, in a clear strategy to close the route next year.

After having known the suspension of the route from Tame to Caracas, planned for the 15 October 2017, The airline resumed selling tickets on this route that begins in Quito and has a stopover in Bogotá. Although they resumed ticket sales, These are active only for the month of October, while from the 1 from November onwards, again, tickets are not available:
during october, sale resumed:
Flights continue to operate at the usual schedules and with the same weekly frequencies. 6 flights operated with Embraer aircraft 190.
For November onwards, again no sale:
Although the statement, published by The universe, indicates that there have been no news and that they have not submitted the request to cancel the route to the Aeronautical Authority, It is known the problems that all international airlines that operate in Venezuela have with repatriating foreign currency., At this point the airline mentions:
«Recognition of the values to be repatriated was achieved and a proposal was officially delivered to the Venezuelan Government, which allows this management to be made viable»
Therefore, the values that Tame has or had pending have been and will be recognized by Venezuela at the official exchange rate., without specifying more details if there will be any harm to the airline. The total value of Venezuela's debt with Tame is still unknown
What could have happened?
Some possibilities are considered:
- This week at Tame a new General Manager was positioned in charge, Ing. Jose Luis Alarcon Garcia, who may have reversed the operational change.
- The Tame Board of Directors decided to continue operating and resume ticket sales.
- The sale was suspended due to known problems with fleet availability.
- By instruction of the Government or Foreign Ministry, the decision was reversed.
- Other?
It must be taken into account that due to the time of 2 weeks, The route was suspended due to the aforementioned fleet problems.
Let's wait one more time to see what happens, but the activation of ticket sales month by month, It is not a good sales strategy, above all, thinking about passengers who plan their flights in advance and will not necessarily allow optimal occupancy with a monthly sale.
we will keep updating.
