Hi Nicolas, interesting article, although it would be more interesting if the analysis were accompanied by statistical data on each route in order to establish if there has been growth. Good for Jet Blue that will increase its service to Fortlauderdale from Guayaquil and from Quito, It will surely be very well received by the market..
It would be great, but you can't always have statistical information. Greetings.
