This relatively little known company in Ecuador, has applied to the local aeronautical authority to be granted a permit of a new type for them, This is for the Non-Regular Air Transport Operation based on the following clauses and two requests:
The first point of your request is the granting of a permit for the Non-Regular Air Transport Operation permit., CROSS-BORDER, in the Air Taxi modality under the part 135 of the Technical Regulations of Civil Aviation – RDAC.
This operation will have as its main base the Santa Rosa Regional Airport, Province of El Oro, Machala to authorized cross-border airports. At this point we can speculate that its operation will be focused solely on the south of the country and the border with Peru., so the flights could be to Piura, Tumbes, Talara, Chiclayo, Trujillo and Iquitos.
Potentially, they could also operate to Cali, Tumaco, Pasture or others in Colombia with cross-border category.
The requested flight equipment is the Hawker Beechcraft C-90GTi with year of manufacture 2009, turbo prop and with a capacity less than 9 passengers.
The second request is also for the operation in the form of Air Taxi under part 135, but with the main difference is that this order has as points of operation the entire continental Ecuadorian territory (except Galapagos).
This second request maintains the same type of flight equipment and main base of operations..
