Today I present to you the Boeing 747 from Wamos Air which operates for LATAM Ecuador from 30 last June and will do so until this 6 July on the Madrid route- Guayaquil.

As published exclusively, after many years, a Boeing 747 will be operating in Ecuador a regular passenger route.

For operational issues of the LATAM Airlines group, la aerolínea se ha visto obligada a arrendar bajo modalidad «wet lease» aviones de la española Wamos Air para suplir su operación mientras los Boeing 787 perform necessary maintenance on their Rolls-Royce engines.

El Boeng 747-400 it's a dying plane. Its production stopped many years ago and its more current brother the Boeing 747-8 did not achieve the expected success and very few passengers are flying, although cargo their sales were a little better.

Given the high operating costs that a commercial aircraft 4 engines generates for airlines compared to new twin-engine planes that can fly the same distance and even cargo and passengers very close, the boeing 747 (and also the Airbus A380), would be destined to gradually disappear.

Son 1.544 planes 747 That had been produced. Today it is estimated that some 213 airplanes of the different models of Boeing 747 are still flying around the world on various passenger airlines. While in cargoes some 263 they are still flying.

For this, ver un Boeing 747 of passengers today is not common, but yes very exotic. Thanks to the invitation of LATAM Ecuador Airlines, I was able to visit and get to know very closely such a classic and beautiful plane.

Here is a gallery with photos of such an incredible aircraft:
