In exclusive, Ecuadorian Airlines confirmed with which aircraft it will start operations once it finishes its process of certification.
The newest airline in formation Ecuadorian Airlines, reported to this space by email some additional data on how its process is progressing prior to starting operations, even with which plane they would start their flights.
in said mail, The airline reported that it saw some of the questions from the readers of this blog in the En Vivo programs that I do every Sunday at 20:15 hours in YouTube, in case you didn't know him, you can see it here (do not forget to subscribe and I wait for you on Sundays):
In the chapter of 8 of November, many people asked about Ecuatoriana Airlines, so the same airline responded to the following concerns:
- Ecuadorian Airlines has no plans to acquire the ATRs from Tame EP.
- Ecuadorian Airlines will start operations at the beginning with planes Beechcraft 1900D from 19 passengers. This aircraft is ideal for opening routes that have been closed for some time or new routes and destinations.. The second type of aircraft to enter the fleet in the middle of the 2021 they will be the dash 8 Q400 o ATR 72-600 which are still being evaluated.
- Ecuadorian Airlines will work with municipalities, mayors, prefectures, governors and chambers of commerce to develop and mature routes.
- The airline will operate as a "low cost" airline..
- Ecuadorian Airlines is still in the certification process and we plan to start hiring staff in January/February 2021.
- Ecuatoriana Airlines will not discriminate against any candidate based on age, raza, religion or gender.
- Ecuatoriana Airlines will hire staff with fluent English and preferably also with command of other languages.
- Ecuatoriana Airlines will have another statement in the coming weeks, in order to keep the public abreast of relevant news of the process.
From this exclusive information, we can rescue as the most important points the non-purchase of Tame EP's ATRs, the low-cost business model as a proposal and the type of aircraft with which they would start their operations, the Beechcraft 1900D, more bigger plane plans.
Beechcraft 1900D
This regional turboprop aircraft has a capacity for 19 passengers, that given the conditions of many routes that the airline proposes to fly and that are of low demand, It would be the ideal team to start flights, stimulate markets and generate demand that makes them attractive.
Too, given the conditions of the market in general, very affected by the economic and health crisis that we are experiencing, they make it an appropriate aircraft and that in a second stage the company would seek to complement it with larger capacity aircraft such as the ATR72-600 or Dash 8 Q400 with an average of 70 passengers.
The use of turboprop aircraft as an airline development strut returns to Ecuador, with which in many low demand routes it could allow lower operating costs and also the creation of new markets not previously exploited in the country.
we will keep updating.

Very good photos and their digital restoration.
As for the plane with which Ecuatoriana is re-born, it is widely used in Europe on regional flights.
Thank you Raúl for your comment..
That aircraft was discontinued in the year 2002.
that's how it is, but still valid all over the world.
Good afternoon, I would like to contact you., to offer the Ecuadorian Aviation Company a very special location for your company.
If I could have your phone number.
Hi Lucia, here is not the airline. You can contact them directly http://www.ecuatoriana.com
Do you consider that with the type of airplane a “low cost” business model can be configured??
I think by itself, the plane already lowers operating costs and, for example,, you do not require cabin crew, you are already generating savings that is reflected in lower expenses.
