This decision is also in line with the transformation plan Avianca 2021 with which the company seeks to strengthen its network of routes to the different markets it reaches.
“The operation we have in Ecuador is very important. Particularly in the domestic market we are the leaders in routes such as Galapagos, Blanket and Coke. We close the 2019 with a market share of 33% and this year we see very interesting operating opportunities in the country.

Excellent, Lago Agrio has a relatively large airport for being in the Ecuadorian Amazon, with taxiway and capacity to receive medium-sized aircraft up to an Airbus A321 or Boeing 737-900 or even larger for being at a low height in relation to sea level. Before AeroGal operated this route and I am very happy that AVIANCA Ecuador does it with the same Airbus A319/A320 aircraft.
It's good that the frequency of trips increases, in the same way that considerable prices have been paid to the people
I think it is excellent news and we hope that the prices adjust to the public.
Will they be to Guayaquil? 28 weekly frequencies with increasing? I'm sure there will be more, because now we have more than 28 with AV between UIO and GYE. Regards and in advance, Happy Birthday!
