Which are the causes of service departure in the case of passengers
Good question Edelio. Everything happens mainly for efficiency and operating costs. a boeing 747 have 4 engines, which implies double fuel consumption versus a Boeing 787 o Airbus A350, that is mainly.
Greetings, I have already flown on the B747, but a long time ago, I plan to fly again, from Guayaquil in Ecuador, to Madrid in Spain What lines are operating with the B747 or the A380? It wouldn't matter if it was with scale and transshipment.
Directly, none. With connection you would have to try maybe from Mexico, New York or Sao Paulo.
