    Hi Nicolas, an update on the operation of FEDEX 🇺🇸 to Ecuador 🇪🇨, in Quito; I have seen in ‘Arribos’ from flightradar24.com that this Monday 26/04/21 at dawn a Boeing 767-300ERF will arrive. I think it is the first time that this long-awaited cargo airline will land in our country. Do you have more details regarding frequencies?? Greetings 👍🏻🇬🇧

  2. friends so if the fedex flights do not come to ecuador …Who brings the purchases of the people who matter to Ecuador? In my case, I buy on the Internet and I always bring by FedEx.
