good morning Nicholas, you have knowledge about the software used by airlines in Ecuador?, me doing a survey in mexico, that it seems strange to me that they think we are going up very fast, they are focusing on foreign software purchases, payment in very expensive dollars which if in this industry you want to have a safe step to survive this makes me think that your decision making is not being focused. what's your opinion about it?
Hi Vanessa, each airline has its software for the different areas of the company: maintenance, roles, accounting, etc. The payment in dollars I did not understand the reference, since in Ecuador we handle dollars.
Interesting information that clearly shows the impact that the pandemic has had on the air transport market. It should also be considered that since May of last year an airline such as TAME, which was transporting 1/3 of domestic traffic. Let's hope he continues to recover 2021
Although at the time that closed Tame EP, there were no flights, so its incidence was rather low for the 3 first months. In any case, I have always wondered how the route map would be at this moment if Tame were still flying.
Good morning:
You have discriminated number of passengers in Quito and Guayaquil ?
