The air frequencies that I had Tame EP in Galapagos to fly to Baltra and San Cristobal were already assigned to other airlines and companies in the country.
Tame EP in Liquidation has advanced in its closing process, selling your assets and also by the country's aeronautical authority in the suspension of its domestic and international charter operation permits as well as domestic and international regular.
In this process, the National Civil Aviation Council of Ecuador – CNAC has carried out the process of assigning the most coveted frequencies in the country, those that have to do with Galapagos together with the Government Council of the Special Regime of the Province of Galapagos for interested companies.
In this way, the entity with Resolution 003/2021 have assigned the 16 frequencies that Tame EP had in its operating permit to the following companies:
Aeroregional
Being the only airline operating and that has an AOC or Air Operator Certificate of the 3 companies assigned the frequencies of Tame EP, has been granted after resolution 042-CGREG-12-02-21 the following routes and frequencies:
- Quito – Guayaquil – Baltra with five weekly frequencies.
- Quito – Guayaquil – San Cristóbal with two weekly frequencies.
before this, we could expect it to be the first new airline operating in Galapagos, although surely we will have to wait until market conditions, especially tourist improve.
EquinoxAir
Of this company and airline in formation, I communicated in this space your plans to obtain your AOC for the operation of charter flights, regular outside and inside Ecuador, to which the following routes and frequencies were assigned:
- Quito – Guayaquil – Baltra with five weekly frequencies.
- Quito – Guayaquil – San Cristóbal with two weekly frequencies.
Galapagos Air Ways
a new company, at least on my radar, which according to the Superintendence of Companies was constituted in the 2018 with capital from abroad and that to date has not submitted any paperwork to the CNAC to obtain the operating permit and subsequent AOC, was assigned the following routes and frequencies:
- Quito – Guayaquil – Isabela with two weekly frequencies.
route assignment
as you well know, the air frequencies belong to the Ecuadorian state and are freely assigned according to the interested parties who may request or be interested in them, but Galapagos is different.
In the particular case of Galapagos For the assignment of frequencies, these must be previously approved with favorable technical and environmental reports by the Galapagos Council as an autonomous entity in the islands and which is the first instance for interested airlines to have these routes in their operating permit..

What do you mean by stating that Aeroregional is the only airline operating and with AOC ?, what about Avianca and Lan ?
and how it is possible that frequencies are assigned in advance to companies that have not even completed the process of certification and obtaining AOC such as Equinox Air and Galapagos Airways ?
I mean the 3 airlines that were assigned frequencies that were from Tame. About your second point, fully agree and should be clarified by the authority.
