Hello Nicolás, is there a date for the restart of the Aircanada operation on the direct route Quito Toronto?
Hi Javier, not at the moment, you have to wait for 2022.
Hi Nicolas, It will not be that Air Canada, like Air France, have some transport agreement with other companies to take their passengers to Lima or Bogotá so that they can leave with their direct flights to Canada and France.. Possibly your demand is too low and does not justify arriving with direct flights to Ecuador at the moment we are experiencing the COVID pandemic in our country
Definitely, they have agreements, For example, Air Canada offers its flights via Copa, Air France con KLM y Copa.
LATAM, Avianca Airlines y Copa Airlines from SCL,LiM,BoG, MY,IAD,JFK,LAX,MEX,YYZ connection all Latin America ,USA and Canada under Corona Virus 2020 Till June 2021 more AA,Delta,United Airlines hopefully back in regular schedule sooner.
Yes indeed, the important thing is that they come back, this crisis, affects many airlines, he's even done with some, It seems to me a timely action to withdraw the 767 of Red, Dreamliners are certainly cheaper to maintain.
Regarding Air France, speaking of fleet, has a younger than A.C.R. Which allows you to have a more dynamic reactivation, In addition, if you withdraw planes, you would also have to withdraw personnel., TRUE?
