The airline LATAM Ecuador has requested to operate flights again from Ecuador toward Miami, with potentially connection from Guayaquil y/o Quito.
A new international route is being prepared from Ecuador, this time from the hand of LATAM Ecuador, which requested to fly to Miami.
In the order made at the end of November before the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Ecuador – DGAC, the airline has placed the request for the following route to be assigned:
In the order, LATAM Airlines Ecuador S.A. requested the DGAC to modify its international passenger operating permit, cargo and mail in combined form so that the route is included:
- Quito and / or Guayaquil – Miami and vice versa with up to four (4) weekly frequencies.
The other terms of your operating permit remain unchanged., so these flights, to materialize, could occur with Airbus A319 / 320 or Boeing aircraft 767-300.
On Wednesday 1 February 2017 It was when LATAM Ecuador stopped flying between Quito (XL-516) and Miami (XL-517), at that time the route was operated with a daily flight with Airbus A319 aircraft, route that at that time was suspended due to economic issues, same that would not have been profitable as it did not cover operating expenses.
When the route was closed in the 2017, LATAM Airlines maintained a presence on the route thanks to the commercial agreement at that time with American Airlines, but the panorama from the 2019 with the new alliance with Delta Air Lines, airline with which it is possible that the need to promote the presence of both in Miami has been generated, principal hub de American.
At the moment the process has not yet started in the United States DoT (would start once approved in Ecuador), an estimated date of start of operations is unknown, if the flight will be from Quito or Guayaquil and especially the plane with which this route will start.
We will continue to update on this new flight that would compete with American Airlines and Eastern Airlines the latter, which will begin flights in the first half of 2021.
