It is 2019 has shown that Ecuador is once again attractive for aerosolsídenies, afterñlimited connectivity, again the paíitsá in the eye of the aerosolídenies.
AtráThe eighties and nineties were left when our fatherís important aerols arrivedíworld lines such as Lufthansa and it was the best moment of our destinationsís también with Ecuadorian from Aviación as the fundamental axis of these routes to the whole world.
They passedños and Ecuador was losing its importance in the áaerospaceáuseful, partly due to the growth of Turkish powersístatic like Colombia and Perú, but alsoén due to the decline in market dynamism that was lostó his forte among others, economic issuesómonkeys.
From the 2017 the situationón has changed and Ecuador enteredó again on the radar of the airlinesídirections to develop new markets, increase frequencies, capacity or position your brand.
¿Whaté you changeó?
Definitely, so that the panorama has changed and we have seen the increase in users of the main airports of Ecuador as Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca it is due to several reasons, where among the más important we find:
increase in tourists
From the 2017 There is a significant increase in the migratory movement of the main tourist issuing markets to Ecuador and alsoén, Ecuadorians areán traveling más abroad, what supports airline decision makingídirections to fly to/from Ecuador.
During the 2018 it is noticeableó for instance, a increase of 44% más of the United States market, this being the main market for our paíyes and Canadaá a 21% más of tourists, what it supports for example, the arrival of the direct flight Air Canada Rouge to Quito and a 9% of tourists from France that supports the return of Air France to Ecuador.
confidence to invest
In Ecuador the environment for investmentón has changed, what has motivated the aerolípoints to considerís as an attractive destination that generates an investmentón sustained and long term.
Spaghettién, This confidence has been seen in users who see greater security in investing money in business or tourist trips.ístics with their families, stimulating theí the market thanks to a stabilizationón económica, but alsoén driven by increased travel deals and options.
Open skies
Although the políOpen Skies ethics aúThey have not closed agreements of this type with anyún país and the arrival of the new Aerolíneas has been given thanks to the current bilateral agreements with each of the paíyou are involved, but without any doubt, ayudó to put the pa in good eyesís, before the airídenies.
The más fenced agreement Open skies know how to giveíto the United States, once Ecuador meets certain requirements, for example, la eliminationón of the Foreign Exchange Outflow Tax – ISD.
¿Cówhat the change looks like for users?
Más aerolídenies, represents a greater offer and alternatives, which in the long run is represented in lower costs for users.
Apart from the increase in traffic movementáI'm theéprisoner in Ecuador who started in 2017, we can see the arrival of new aerosolílines or the increase in frequencies, in what I have called as the 2019 año histórich for aviationóecuadorian n, it stands out:
- Aercaribe Cargo startó flights to Latacunga
- Guayaquil the new destination of Jetblue
- Copa Airlines increases flights to Quito and Guayaquil
- Peruvian Airlines landingá in Quito
- DHL volará to Quito víto Lima
- Direct flights between Santiago and Quito
- Viva Air Colombia arriveá to Guayaquil
- Aeroméxico flyá to Guayaquil
- Quito flights return – Paris
- Increase in frequencies between Fort Lauderdale and Quito
- Air Europa increases its flights to Ecuador
- Plus Ultra volará to Quito and Guayaquil
- Daily Iberia flight between Madrid and Quito
- Interjet officialó plans to fly to Guayaquil
- Air Canada Rouge volará To Quito
- JetBlue volará to Guayaquil from New York
As usual.. The authority denies routes or hinders local companies and puts everything on a silver platter for foreign companies, these arrive with fanfare in high season and make their good money, when it is no longer the season they close and leave, or just decrease frequencies. And this is how the development of local aviation is not supported.
you have proof?
Hello there , By the way, I see that there is an x na of works and earthworks at the Quito airport next to the terminal. , What are those jobs? ? According to the quiport page there is an expansion … one sleeve… :S and remodeling of the terminal I imagine they are going to give a modern touch to our new but outdated and unattractive terminal. They should take a tour of the JJO de gye to see if they bring any fresh ideas…
Here you have information: https://www.nlarenas.com/2018/09/aeropuerto-de-quito-anuncia-plan-de-expansion-2017-2020/
Thanks, that is, we agree on the mismanagement of the empress in its high operating costs, various flight equipment and expensive leasing, I exceeded staff, enough reasons to lead it to bankruptcy and debts of more than 160 millions
The serious thing is that a true restructuring is not seen in the future
Correct, is a reality.
Ok, so we will wait if that is the case to verify that Tame did not know how to or could not handle that passenger traffic and it failed, as there would be no other explanation.
Its own operational problems and high costs of its operation did not make it profitable, not the demand.
Good Morning
How is the Bogotá route going? – Guayaquil by Viva Air?
A matter of days until they announce it.
A pity about Medellín but it is only delay that will happen
Peruvian already confirmed their dates
And I remove New York without hope, which confirms Tame's error in operating that flight instead of Gusyaquil, since Jet Blue and Eastern have already announced their operations, but to Guayaquil.
I hope someone is interested in Quito, otherwise they will have to leave through Bogotá or Panama
There are 3 airlines behind flying the Quito route – New York, you just have to wait and it's a matter of time. Market is plenty.
Hello there, very good news for our country, It is a good step to lower the prices of the tickets and to make the price for traveling to the United States more affordable..
I don't know the concrete connection to Medellín? And the Peruvian flight to Lima? Additionally, there are no interested parties in covering the Quito New York route left by TAME?
Medellín is postponed due to the situation of Avianca. Peruvian already indicated that it would be for July. The New York thing, nothing yet, but there are interested.
It is an excellent analysis of the topic.
The only thing missing is that the state, through the Civil Aviation Council, never promoted the foreign ministry for the bilaterals that were very closed at that time to wrongly protect Ecuador.
Then the DAC with regulations against private companies and civil and commercial aviation that led to the failure of many international and national airlines, including air taxis and even fumigators.
Now open skies and more liberal measures tend to improve the outlook but always fighting against the conditions imposed by DAC in order to move forward
Good for our country Good for Quito and Guayaquil
Let's hope that the "facilities" for the other airports give results, but the conditions are still not very exciting and must be improved to have better commercial air connectivity in the country, including of course the Amazon and small towns on the coast and mountains.
