Dear Nicholas,
For what reason has IBERIA stopped operating on Mondays and Tuesdays since February? 2020? It had been doing it from Monday to Sunday using the Airbus A340-600 and since it started operating in Guayaquil with the Airbus A330-200 it seems that things have changed., added to the arrival of the Plus Ultra Airbus A340-600.
Market reasons will be? Because the purchase of Air Europa has not yet been approved by the EU.
Thanks.
Sincerely.
Carlos Fernandez
Hi Carlos, I would think it's low season, let's see what happens later, there is a lot of supply in the market and you have to adjust if necessary.
It is good news for Ecuador because the offer of seats from Europe continues to increase (Madrid) to Quito and from Quito via Madrid to Europe.
IBERIA overcame its delicate financial situation and today has resumed other suspended destinations. Regarding Ecuador, it was always an attractive market, The offer has always been growing and to think that the Airbus A340-600 is the replacement of the first generation of the famous jumbo jet, that is to say the Boeing 747-100/200.
the next decade, we will see the Airbus A350-900 or who knows if IBERIA will operate with the variant 1000.
I am happy to see that we continue to have more traffic in Tababela, that means more dollars coming into the country 🙂
and more work.
