Do you remember the new airline EC Plus Airline? In this installment I update the latest information that has been known about this project. Reference photo.

Surely the frequent readers of this space remember about the possible or birth of a new Ecuadorian airline EC Plus Airline, of which we had not heard anything for a few months.

in June 2019, I published in these lines the intention to create a new airline in Ecuador with routes the following domestic routes:

• Manta – Quito – Manta with twelve weekly frequencies.
• Quito – Guayaquil – Quito with fourteen weekly frequencies.
• Quito – Cuenca – Quito with twelve weekly frequencies.

By the end of that same month, the airline already had the permission of international operation to operate on the following routes:

• Manta and/or Quito and/or Guayaquil – Fort Lauderdale – New York and vice versa with 7 weekly frequencies.
• Quito – Lima – Quito with 7 weekly frequencies.
• Quito – Bogota – Quito with 7 weekly frequencies.

And finally, in August, permission was granted to operate cross-border flights with Colombia.:

• Esmeraldas – Cali – Esmeraldas with two weekly frequencies.

From that moment until January I could not get new data (despite your questions about job offers at the airline and other), but at the beginning of the year we can again see some movement in the airline that makes us think that the project continues.

Within this process of obtaining the air operator certificate (AOC) which can take a long time, the airline requested before the aeronautical authority that the following aircraft also be included in its operating permit, said request was approved:

• Airbus A320 FAM under lease.

It should be remembered that the airline had previously requested that the aircraft on its operating permit be Boeing 767-300 y Boeing 737-700, so with this change we can think that there would be changes in the initial plans, given the great previous experience of the Airbus family in Ecuador where there are highly qualified pilots and technicians, as it can also be a move that we have seen before where only the company analyzes possible changes in the future.

This is the new that is known and we will continue to update as new information is made public or the airline contacts this server ?.
