I work for a company with stores in JJ Olmedo, and we have inter flights only from 3 of June, Jetblue, American and the other airline escapes me are the only ones that are going to fly and will be 2 O 3 Daily flights, only at night,Today I was at the airport and the biosecurity measures provide a safe environment

  6. The news is certain that passengers arriving from abroad with a PCR test will be able to do the APO at their homes, even if it is in another province.?

  7. Very good afternoon gentlemen.
    I am a person who arrived Ecuador the day 16 Ultra Air made its inaugural flight in Colombia and thus becomes the ninth regular airline in the country, and because of what is happening I have not been able to return to Barcelona Spain.
    My question when I leave Ecuador for Spain, do I have to take a test on the convid 19?

  8. In case of carrying out APO in a hotel, Should the cost be assumed in its entirety by the passenger??, How long will this measure be in effect??

      1. The cost of all tourist accommodation is similar. How is that possible? Quarantine should not be carried out in an isolated place, free and secure, for instance, in health or military departments?

  9. According to Avianca, they do not yet have any decree on international flights allowed in Ecuador and that is why flights cannot be scheduled close to June. I am still uncertain about being able to return to my country.
