Kind regards Nicolas
In this case I disagree with you on something you mention, This is good news for the Ecuadorian user who, of course, deserves good service and options for his trip, but not good news for Ecuadorian aviation. … I think there is no need to explain.
Kind regards
Buenas tardes:
Nicolás has an idea of how this “mini hub” would work.??
I find it strange that a 767 stay on standby
What I wrote in this same post is what I understand they will do.
