We'll talk about the situation current and future of Tame EP before strong adjustments that are being made in the airline to improve its operational situation.
Always looking for the desired and expected profitability and at hours of comply 56 years of existence, new and strong measures have begun to be known that the flag carrier will take in order to improve its financial results.
This profitability, which was lost several years ago and which, According to a Comptroller's report, losses exceed $250 millions of dollars for endless reasons, is expected again in Tame for the 2020 – 2021, when would they have blue numbers again, but to get to this, many adjustments have been made and there are still many announcements to come.
Of course, we have to recover the losses, pay debts and the recent credit provided by the State, shareholder of 100% de Tame.
This is what is known today:
What has been done
Among other measures that have not been public knowledge, Tame has taken the following actions:
- Itinerary adjustments increasing or decreasing frequencies according to demand and occupancy.
- Domestic routes were canceled such as Salinas from Quito and Cuenca with Guayaquil.
- They returned 2 Airbus A319 that were stopped in the Quito airport Since last year they had contractual problems, they are the owners.
- They were put back on the flight line. 3 ATR42-500.
- Likewise the 3 Embraer 190 they were operational again.
- Adjusted the number of employees in different areas.
- An Airbus A320 HC-CPB is about to return to the flight line.
- Operational processes have been improved.
what will come
Among other plans that will come and be published in due course we have:
- Cancellation of the Quito route – New York.
- It will be returned and the lease of the only Airbus A330 HC-COH.
- The Airbus A320 HC-COE aircraft will be returned.
- For purposes of 2019 the Embraer would be returned 190 HC-COY
- For him 2019 the fleet would be made up of 2 Airbus A320 HC-CID y HC-CPB, 1 Airbus A319 HC-CGT, 2 (3) Embraer 190 HC-CGG the HC-CGF, 3 ATR42-500 HC-CLT, HC-CMH y HC-CMB.
- The airline's plan would be to reduce the number of leased or leased aircraft to take advantage of the airline's own aircraft (Embraer and ATR).
- New dismissal of personnel by reducing routes and planes.
- The domestic market will be strengthened to recover market share, where flights to Guayaquil would be increased, Cuenca, Manta, Coca, Galapagos (Baltra and San Cristobal).
- Additional cancellation of international routes.
It should be remembered that in a interview I conducted with Ignacio Vallejo, Chairman of the Tame Board, knew how to indicate that it would seek to renew the Airbus A330, look for another and even, lease a second aircraft of this model, as well as incorporating more ATR aircraft, plans that as we can see changed from February of this year to today.
All the measures that the airline is taking are strong and will bring a long media queue, but you have to understand that the goal is only one, rescue the airline from a delicate crisis, and that will undoubtedly affect the entire Ecuadorian airline market, in moments when finally, a clear recovery was seen.

It's time to introduce you to the new
We hope they do, All Ecuadorians want to know the progress and news of Tame.
Thanks for your reply
I insist vip never had a regular operating permit, it was not regular as a private club and we were many members
It is true that Aerogal absorbed it to avoid competition due to certain internal disagreements within the company
At best at first, I clearly remember when the regular operating permit was canceled by disappearing as such.
The most serious thing is that there is no stability and seriously complying with the restructuring plans despite the fact that they have not had solid technical or financial foundations but rather the will of administrators on duty and external interests by maintaining aircraft leasing in anti-economic conditions for the company
It is also time to change Airbus equipment 320-319 since they were conceived and manufactured for costs on routes preferably of two to four hours on average, not long flights. .40 minutes, including take-off and landing, which in cycles consume the useful hours of the airplane and make its operation very expensive.
The one that must be increased is the ATR that are for those short routes and runways in cities and towns outside large airports.
I remind you of the success of the VIP company that operated as a club because DAC did not give it regular permission
In any case, he estimated that the restructuring should be more serious..
I will only comment on the VIP, This airline did have regular routes and permission, until it was absorbed by AeroGal, I don't know how successful it was before that..
Unfortunate the suspension of flights between Guayaquil and Cuenca, route that less than three years ago had a good occupation in ATR aircraft. The route was affected in the last two years before its definitive cancellation due to the decrease in occupancy due to flying at times that were inappropriate for market needs, what was wanted to be compensated internally by raising ticket prices, which further affected its occupation, forcing the company to withdraw from the route.
Completely, the route started with a resounding success, due to the airline's own problems, it was affected and there were unscheduled maintenance of the ATR.
