GOL's arrival in Ecuador
With the soon start of GOL flights to Quito, the Ecuadorian market will be seená highly benefited with 3 fronts:
- If the connection is resumedódirect route between Ecuador and Brazil, así travelers from both paíyou no longer have toán necessarily go through Lima, Panamá o Bogotá.
- Thanks to the large network of GOL destinations in Brazil, Ecuadorians will be able toán explore and shop other sun destinationséstics and not beá a point-to-point only destination.
- Potential increase in tourists in Brazilñto the main tourist destinationsíEcuadorian stics like Galápaid. To beá It is important that GOL signs an interline agreement or code share with an airlineílocal line in Ecuador to transport your destinations to other cities in connectionón.
We look forward to the soon start of GOL flights, which indicates the clear growth of the Ecuadorian market that is increasingly más attractive for Aerolíneas and know más details about the núlist of flight frequencies and schedules.
Being a new company, Resolution DGAC-YA-2017-0170-R, valid since 27 November 2017, in Chapter II Art. 4 literal (a) provides that every Air Operator must request the Approval of Itineraries with at least 30 days (skillful) in advance of the effective date of validity. To date, the GOL Company has not formally requested approval of Itineraries.
We will follow up.
The truth was that it was already necessary to have connectivity with Brazil. It would be interesting to recover connectivity with Cali, Medellin, Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires directly because to go to these cities you have to make several stops and it is not comfortable having passengers on the routes. Finally, we hope that Air Canada is encouraged to come to Ecuador and, like GOL, uses the modern Boeing 737-8MAX that it already has in its fleet..
Hello July, some observations. Tame flew to Sao Paulo for 2 years. There are flights to Santiago, to Cali and Buenos Aires with a stopover in Esmeraldas de Tame and Lima from LATAM Ecuador, There is also direct to Cali from Guayaquil.
Hi Nicolas, and there is news about other destinations apart from this? I heard a rumor about Air Canada but I don't know how good the source was haha, greetings!
Hello Ivan, Air Canada is always a possibility, but I haven't heard anything concrete yet.
“Crazy” airline ? ? ? ?
Local 😉
GOL has the so-called Smile affinity program, which is like an alliance that cooperates with other airlines such as KLM., Qatar, Emirates, air canada, Aeromexico, Argentine Airlines and others that would expand the connection network so that tourists from all over the world arrive in Quito.
I hope this project materializes, which would be very positive for the Quito airport and its growth..
Completely, It is a fact that will occur, if not this year, at the beginning of 2019.
GOL is the largest airline in Brazil in market share, as well as the largest low-cost in Latin America. And GOL's headquarters are in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, in this last, Where is your MRO located?.
Thanks for the information Eric..
