the boeing 787 arrives in Ecuador with Air Europa, for the first time on a commercial regular basis, the days 3 of July and 28 august 2018 to the International Airport of Guayaquil.

For the first time on a regular basis under an itinerary, the most modern aircraft of the American manufacturer Boeing will land in Ecuador. the boeing 787 will perform their 2 first commercial flights to Guayaquil on days 3 of July and 28 august this year, which will mark the expected arrival of one of the newest planes in the world to the country.

The José Joaquín de Olmedo will welcome for the first time regular way to this plane, that in addition to being the most modern of the fleet of Air Europa, It is the most modern that has ever operated regular passenger flights in Ecuador.

It is very important to clarify that this is not the first time that Boeing 787 lands in Ecuador and specifically, It will be the fourth time that I do it in Guayaquil. The visits of this plane have been the following:

• First time: a Dreamliner lands in Ecuador, this happened on 6 February 2016 when Prince Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates visited the country.
• Second time: this opportunity was given 22 November 2016 when for a medical emergency a Boeing 787 from Avianca must have landed in Guayaquil while flying from Bogota a Santiago.
• Third time: on this occasion it was precisely an Air Europa Dreamliner, which made the route Lima – Guayaquil and thus leave technical and mechanical equipment at this airport for the repair of an Airbus A330 and later continued to Madrid.

This is an important step for Ecuador, although for now they will only be 2 flights, These will allow the airline to analyze the performance of the plane on a short and hot runway such as Guayaquil., in order to measure profitability and performance.

The introduction of this aircraft to the market will be gradual and little by little more Air Europa frequencies will be operated by this aircraft to Ecuador, that in the long run, is intended to be the replacement for the current Airbus A330 which triangulate between Quito – Guayaquil and Madrid.

Of Latinamerica, only few countries have not had the regular operation of Boeing 787. To this day Bolivia, Paraguay and Venezuela, next to Ecuador, are part of this list, but in a few days we will get out of it.

¿Por qué llegará el Boeing 787 to Guayaquil?

These flights are special in nature and are due to the contingency that is gradually reaching the airlines that operate the Boeing 787 with Rolls-Royce Trent engines 1000. As is happening with LATAM Ecuador that operates Wamos aircraft, Air Europa is adjusting its operation to be able to keep its fleet operational in all its long-haul destinations.

In high season, Air Europa operates to Ecuador 5 weekly flights on Airbus A330, but the airline has a fleet of 10 boeing aircraft 787, but these are entering the preventive maintenance imposed by the authorities and engine manufacturer.

Given this, in this high season the airline is operating only with 4 weekly flights and even, some flights that will stop passing through Quito until this situation is resolved until possibly, end of the year.

The 3 July the first flight will make Madrid – Guayaquil with passengers and will travel ferry (empty, without passengers) to Sao Paulo, Brazil, Meanwhile he 28 August will be the reverse, the flight will arrive ferry to Guayaquil and will depart to Madrid with passengers.
