  1. Thank you for your kindness in guiding us Nicolás. My specific question: To fly, for example, from Tocumen Airport in Panama to Paraguay, is it necessary to present a PCR test or is a rapid test at the airport sufficient??

  2. good morning Nicholas,
    ud. Do you know if shops and especially restaurants are operating at the Quito Airport?.
    I have a stopover in Quito and I want to know if I can eat anything at the airport.

  3. I will travel from Bogota to Quito next 24 July on a repatriation flight. I live in Guayaquil. I have my negative PCR test done on the day 17 of July. With that negative test, I can travel from Quito to Guayaquil that same day 24 July on a commercial flight? Thanks

      1. thanks Nicholas!
        Do you know how long it takes at the Quito airport to deliver the test result??
        It's just that I arrive at UIO at 10:40 from Bogota, and the flight to GYE leaves at 16:55. Will I be able to take a quick test in that time??
