Thanks! We update the note.
Do you know where and who gets the folder for this job??
That information has not been known yet., but usually, use airport service companies to provide service.
There is public data on how the market is between both countries? It seems that we are already getting close to saturating the routes to Madrid. Hopefully with greater competition Air Europa and LATAM will be encouraged to fly with their 787. Flights to Frankfurt would also be nice, Condor never completed its flight.
I will try to get that data, But apparent, there is still a market to exploit, but I agree, I think we are at the limit, unless the visa issue is cleared.
I see Air Europa close to the 787, we have to wait. Latam is still a few years away. Hopefully the Condor thing will be resumed this year.
It is somewhat frustrating that they are not encouraged by flights from Barcelona!! but in any case it adds up and with a new airline!
Completely, I have faith in LEVEL that it arrives from Barcelona.
It's true, that route is pending, I have family in Barcelona and whenever I go through Spain before going to Ecuador I have to choose between going first to Madrid or Bogotá, It can't be that with so many Ecuadorians in Barcelona there still isn't a direct flight from BCN. Very good post Nicholas., just a spelling mistake at the beginning I think it should be "sede" and not "cede". Greetings
Definitely, For me the next natural route from Spain must be Barcelona.
excellent news! more places for Europe. Now we only need to eliminate the Schengen visa. That would increase the flow of travelers.. Ecuador is one of the few Latin Americans that still has that barrier!
So is, Without this visa, trips would increase without limit.
