Within the actions of the Ecuadorian Government to have a greater connectivity and arrival of tourists that includes the Open Skies policies, jet fuel subsidy and others, is that Ecuador direct airway is created – Tahiti that will allow, potentially, have flights connecting the Middle of the World country with Asia via Oceania.
Currently, Flights between Ecuador and Asia are always made with one or more stopovers in destinations such as Amsterdam, Mexico, The Angels, Houston, dallas and others.
The Ecuadorian aeronautical authority, It also seeks to gain control of the No FIR that exists from the Galapagos to Tahiti, This proposal has been accepted by the OACI, so until the year 2019 this oceanic airspace will be assigned to Ecuador.
Given the average distance between Ecuador and most important destinations in East Asia from 8.000 a 10.000 nautical miles, a direct flight would only be possible with the longest-range aircraft in the world.
This route could be operated with the Boeing 777-200LR (9.300 autonomy nautical miles), Airbus A340-500 (9.000 autonomy nautical miles), Boeing 787-9 (until 8.500 autonomy nautical miles), Airbus A380 (8.400 autonomy nautical miles) or the newest and most autonomous aircraft currently in the world, Airbus A350-900ULR con 10.012 autonomy nautical miles.
on this very plane, Singapore Airlines will hold the record for the longest flight in the world with 19 hours long between Singapore and New York.
Given the great distance between both analyzed destinations and being realistic, that the demand between Ecuador and Asia is not massive as it is, for example, to Mexico, Lima, Panama or Sao Paulo, a previous stopover in another attractive destination is an interesting option to realize the dreamed direct connection or the most direct possible with the huge Asian continent.
The most attractive destination between Asia and Ecuador would be China for investment issues, exchanges and business. A direct flight from Guayaquil to Shanghai (Pudong International) has a distance of 9.991 nautical miles-
The new airway connects Manta with Tahiti
This new air route is the second of its kind to link South America with Tahiti, the first unites Santiago with this destination located in the South Pacific, part of French Polynesia on the continent of Oceania. There is only 2 direct airways between Oceania and all of Latin America.
long ago, the aeronautical authority announced it, without it having been specified at the time what this new route meant, since it was thought that it would be a new airline that would fly to Ecuador.

The recently published worldwide route appeared in aeronautical systems on 12 October 2017 and connects Ecuador with Oceania. Call UN789, is an airway, that translated into simple terms, It is a kind of aeronautical highway that allows airlines and pilots to plan their flights in the most direct and safe way to their destination..
The UN789 starts at the Manta VOR (MNV), Ecuador's closest international airport to Oceania and terminates at the Tahiti VOR (TAF), after a tour of 4.195 nautical miles. This airway is mainly RNAV in nature., which means that the intersections of it are satellite points and not geo-referenced as a VOR.
Only on the Tahiti side until you exit or enter its airspace, the airway is based on VOR.
The objective of this route is to generate new opportunities and facilities for Asian or Oceanian airlines, when they evaluate Ecuador as a potential destination, find tools that allow them to generate their routes in a more optimal way.
It does not imply that there will be an airline flying this route soon, but it will allow planning, that with the right promotion, could generate at a certain time, an asian flight – Tahiti – Ecuador.
A stopover between Ecuador and Tahiti would be significant for the tourist and food side of the route between both directions and the opportunity to generate new routes and connections, even, fly beyond equator.
