Hello, how many weeks flights are there from Bogota to Quito in fedex
none estimated.
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 👍🏻🇬🇧
Hi Carlos, FedEx was expected years ago, but with what you tell me it seems that it finally materializes, I'm going to confirm it.
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.
They bring it on other airlines like UPS, Atlas, etc.
Ask: The Colombian news media have said that as of this Friday 18 December All foreigners who enter Colombia will be required to test for COVID, how true is this I already searched for information and I have not been able to confirm it thanks
Hello Cristobal, so far I have not heard anything new, Do you have a link to that information??
Thanks, I liked the post and the news, but I have a question:
Why FedEx does not have flights in Ecuador?
Very little demand?
I believe that sooner or later we will see FedEx in Ecuador, In fact, he understood that he was in his next plans.
That seems fine to me, at best a 767 O 777, Of course I would like to see an MD11
