The project to form a new local airline called Viva Air Ecuador sounds again as a goal of the Viva Group part of Irelandia Aviation.
It is not the first time that this project has been reported in the international media again in the face of comments from its managers..
Was the 13 February 2018 during the event Routes Americas in Quito than declan ryan, principal of the Irish group that owns Ryanair, announced the group's intention to create an airline based in Ecuador.
Right now, the intention to operate in the country became known after visiting 3 Ecuadorian airports, where he excelled at the time Latacunga as a possible low cost terminal and that of the 50 new Airbus aircraft 320 for Viva Air, a number that was not defined would come to Ecuador.
Long live Air Ecuador returns
From that moment on 2018 to now, the project Viva Air Ecuador made no progress on legal issues or permits, but it sounds again after Declan's statements for the media Reuters, where the following was mentioned:
In an interview with Reuters on Tuesday night, The executive stated that one of the markets in which he would like to land is Ecuador and another is a Central American country, at the same time that Chile was ruled out due to the strong competition in the sector and Brazil due to its high cost.
after discarding Chile and Brazil, siendo importantes mercados dentro de la región y mencionar a Ecuador como un mercado «donde aterrizar» Ryan mencionó también:
“We like Ecuador”, referred. "In the future you will hear about it (Viva Air plans in Ecuador). Geographically it's close and they just lost their state airline.", expressed regarding new markets.
In this last statement, you can see the clear intention of carrying out this project, even more so due to the current situation of Tame EP (although it is mistakenly mentioned that Ecuador has already lost this airline), where would there be opportunities to develop this small market, but with great growth potential that would be generated with an operation low cost.
Before a subsidiary in Ecuador decided to, we shall see the return of Viva Air Colombia with flights to Quito or Guayaquil from the potential markets of Bogotá, Medellin, Santa Marca or Cartagena (the airline has these routes in its operating permit in Colombia) and flights from Lima with Viva Air Peru.
Just have to wait a little longer.

A low cost ticket would be a good option. It cost me 235 from cuenca to guayaquil with stopover in quito
Surely Viva Air Ecuador will need aeronautical technical personnel..

will have to wait.
Nicholas, greetings from Mexico, what relationship exists or not ? Between viva aerobus de México and viva air ecuador since the planes have similarities in their exterior design of commercial distinctive.
it's my appreciation, and excuse my ignorance
the whole relationship, Viva Aerobus has the same investors as Irlandia Aviation.
It would be a good low cost option in Ecuador and should enter before Aeroregional gains market…
Rather, I see that there is a market opportunity for all, especially for the situation of Tame.
It would be good if they fly the Bogota or Cali-Latacunga direct route, excellent route
