  1. Dear Mr Larenas,

    Can you tell me what happened to the flights of the Brazilian airline GOL to Ecuador?
    (Sao Paulo – Quito ) …. ???

    good night nicholas. Do you think the flight is being profitable? A week ago I traveled to Rio via Sao Paolo, and the plane was at half occupancy.

    Greetings

  3. Carlos Fernandez

    Great report Nicholas, thanks for that.

    Let's hope the occupancy rate goes up, Let's remember that profitability and passenger billing is what is vital for an airline to operate.

    Welcome Gol to Quito and Ecuador!

  4. I really don't understand why Tame loses money on all its international routes , Although the occupation was low towards Sao Paulo, the office at the airport was a hovel, a shame as an Ecuadorian , In addition, the lousy information service hopefully it changes soon or it will have to disappear.
