Manta is an attractive tourist destination in Ecuador and Chileans might be interested in getting to know it, while the destinations to which LAW is flying from there are also interesting on the tourist and migratory side for the country.
Let's hope these flights continue operating to Manta, that being an airport managed by the DAC, has lower operating costs, It is not congested and if the airline will request routes and traffic rights, could even, benefit from fuel subsidy and within the framework of the policies of Open skies, an agreement between Ecuador and Chile could be promoted, that with the announcement of Sky Airline, would generate a significant increase in traffic between both countries.
