  1. Dear Nicolas, I would like to consult you on a specific issue, could you help me with your cell phone number?, thank you.

  2. It seems to me a big mistake that an aviation school works in the Quito Airport, in addition to causing air traffic congestion in an airport with limited maneuvering space due to its orography to practice maneuvers for visual flight and for instrument flight that a student pilot needs. mandatory practice to obtain the necessary expertise and requirements to obtain your professional license , the weather conditions, especially in the summer due to the location of the airport, would make it difficult to train new pilots for sure , We are talking about pilots in training, not expert pilots who in some of their publications stated that it is necessary to operate at the Quito airport. , it would be nice to know who are the shareholders of said company , how the certification process was obtained and how convenient it is for the authority to allow a school to operate in Quito the region's leading airport, One of the big problems that the Guayaquil airport has is the schools in an airport with commercial flight traffic., due to performance differences and just traffic priorities , many times you have to wait for several minutes to take off and that is a cost for fuel consumption while a training plane does not have that problem , that are also costs for the
    Students who pay per flight hour , that is, they would pay more or train less, true round business? , aviation must develop but in a responsible manner not be a way to profit only .

    1. Hi Carlos, Thanks for your comment. I will only comment the first, air traffic will not be affected, since it was indicated at the inauguration that they will operate during low traffic hours and flat hours, not in rush hour. of the rest, you could talk directly with the School to clarify your doubts.
