Thanks to the contribution of one of our readers, we have photos, cónow if you liveó the último vuelo de Tame de Nueva York a Quito, the route is suspended.
Being a 31 of January of 2019, Tame EP cerró por al menos un añO, his route between Quito International Airport and New York JFK Airport. Esta ruta inició formalmente en noviembre de 2013 desde Guayaquil con el único avión wide body o cabina ancha Airbus A330-200 HC-COH que ha tenido la aerolínea en su historia.
This route that operated from Quito on 1 march 2017, I fulfilledó are último vuelo donde una baja rentabilidad de la ruta fue el motivo para suspenderla, dentro del plan de optimizacióno and mejora de resultados económonkeys of the Ecuadorian state.
Sin más, algunas fotos del úlast flight, thanks to one of our readers who was able to be present at this sad event, but without a doubt, tiene el objetivo de sacar adelante a la aerolínea de bandera y reducir sus pérdidas operativas:
Vídeo del último despegue desde Nueva York.
El servicio en general se realizó sin novedades y no existieron anuncios relacionados a ser un úlast flight, as they did not exist water arches Farewell route at any of the airports.
Electric Airbus A330 seesá devuelto a su propietario el 7 Ultra Air made its inaugural flight in Colombia and thus becomes the ninth regular airline in the country, in the meantime, the grandfatherón permanecerá en el Aeropuerto de Quito en calle de rodaje Zulu hasta el día de su vuelo a Europa.
good morning Nicholas, a query, A was returned according to the schedule 330 as the past was planned 7 Ultra Air made its inaugural flight in Colombia and thus becomes the ninth regular airline in the country??
Apart from when Tame's aggressive campaign to recover the national market would begin as indicated???
Specifically and concretely, the flights to Manta from Quito are still very expensive and nobody controls
Thanks
No, its return to the owner is delayed for approximately 17 Ultra Air made its inaugural flight in Colombia and thus becomes the ninth regular airline in the country. Tame started adjusting his home frequencies, The first step was to increase flights and adjust schedules to Cuenca.
The prices of the tickets to Manta or other destinations have nothing to do with the aggressive campaign and in Ecuador, Fortunately, there is no market control and price control, the market dictates them.
Congratulations David for your excellent comment that I fully share and that I have been supporting on several occasions in this column by Nicolas
The fundamental thing is to make TAME a solvent airline. Fleet approval, profitable destinations and internationalization can be discussed when its restructuring objectives have been achieved in all its stages.
Like Bruno a while ago I suggested the same thing and Nicolás also gave his opinion regarding saving the UIO-NYC route but it has to be profitable. An aircraft like the A321LR is suddenly not the solution, maybe a B767-300ER or a B787-8 are smaller than an A332 but I see that it is a more complex issue related to cost-benefit in terms of profit for TAME. The ethnic passenger plays a crucial role on the route and hence it does not matter which plane is used..
The issue of going to B767 or B787 is again the homologation of the fleet, exactly the same would happen 330, exclusive pilots, mechanics and a production line just for that one plane.
Unfortunately this is the typical story of all state airlines, that in the end becomes a burden for all Ecuadorians, because in the end it is those who pay. For decades, this company was run by completely incompetent people who had no idea how to run an airline, worse knowing how to adjust to changes in the market or take advantage of opportunities. Apart, no marketing vision, without any vision of development, It is a typical airline that has no identity or vision, and examples are left over to know where they end. Launching international routes without being able to have a clear development plan, nor have a clear idea of what identity will be given to the airline, is committing corporate suicide. If any person who had been in the head, I would have had some intuition of what it is to drive an airline, maybe the story would be different. The only step that TAME should follow (If I wanted somehow to stay alive), is to stop seeking to be independent, and become a subsidiary of a truly aviation company, but for that to happen, TAME should have someone at the helm who knows how to take the bankruptcy protection step and thus fire all unnecessary employees, return non-own aircraft, cut with all lost operation (the government routes to the east pass them to FAE), and then I would have something of value in “potential” to know how to sell yourself as a viable option to be trustworthy of a consortium that wants an operation or route support in the region, as IAG, AFKLM, LH, DELTA, EMIRATES, etc. They should only see the history of the Cup and its submission to what was Continental, to become something similar. You don't have to invent the wheel, there is no way to survive in this market alone.
Nicholas; but if the route to New York undergoes restructuring during this year, what will happen, what plans will TAME have, the new aircraft or aircraft that will come to cover this route within a year…???
There are many unknowns that the airline leaves in this case.
What was the restructuring and homologation of the aircraft fleet?, for both national and international flights…??
The suspended route should be restructured with more modern aircraft, efficient and that generate less expenses than the current aircraft, the A330 that is going, such as an A321LR that would be a bit uncomfortable due to the hours of travel but less expensive to maintain, or stick with a wide cabin like a B787 which is more comfortable, quieter and uses less fuel as well as other resources, From my point of view, TAME must have a lot of technicality and be very cautious when restructuring this route, which in a year is supposed to start again according to the DGAC resolution..
Let's hope, it is known that this year the domestic fleet will be purged, but the one that would have a long radius to fly to New York, It is in we will see and it could never be resumed.
I consider that publicity for the failure of tame is enough
It's not advertising, is to tell a story of a sad moment, but necessary for the airline.
The inefficiency of the state apparatus I hope as many inoperative people are fired or better that this airline disappear , sell it or rent it ,As an Ecuadorian I feel ashamed .
