the subsidiary LATAM Ecuador made the first maintenance on Quito to an aircraft outside its fleet belonging to Holding LATAM Airlines Group.
The 18 march 2021 from Santiago de Chile landed on the Mariscal Sucre International Airport from Quito flight LA9950 of the Airbus A321-211, what for? Here we tell you.
It was striking to see the operation in Quito of an Airbus A321 from LATAM Airlines, so I went to the source and the airline very kindly responded and the news was very good: LATAM Ecuador carried out the first maintenance to an aircraft that is not from its fleet in Quito.
What did LATAM Ecuador do?
Maintenance was carried out in Quito that in LATAM Airlines They call it "24 Months" that the closest thing is a partial Maintenance Check C, This refers to a grouping of repeat interval maintenance tasks. 24 months and below.
These tasks are commonly accomplished as part of major maintenance at a repair station., but as an efficiency the OMA (Approved Maintenance Organization) of LATAM Ecuador has been prepared and certified to be able to comply with this level of maintenance.
Previously, this level of maintenance work had already been completed in the local fleet of Ecuador, but this is the first time that it was fulfilled in a LATAM Holding aircraft, as is the case of the Airbus A321 aircraft registration CC-BEO with serial number 7298, with 4.5 years since your first flight, configured for 220 passengers in one class and is powered by 2 motores CFMI CFM56-5B3/P.
This plane visited Quito exclusively to carry out the maintenance tasks of the case, The planned work was completed within a period of 8 days as planned and thus demonstrating the quality and efficiency of the technical staff of Ecuador to contribute to international aviation.
When I return to Chile, the aircraft rejoined the fleet operating domestic flights to Puerto Mont. Within this service and after carrying out the respective economic analyzes, it is expected that more LATAM Airlines aircraft of the Airbus type will be carried out for maintenance in Quito.

thanks for the note, It is good to see news that for many may go unnoticed, but they are good for aviation fans. A question, Why is it that maintenance is carried out in Quito and not in Chile?? or even in closer countries like Peru? Greetings
It is by availability of maintenance capacity, it is possible that Santiago, Brazil and Lima are full, so Quito is now an option.
Today I am going with my brother to the airport to pick up my aunt who lives in the United States for my grandfather's wake and I will surely arrive in the 767 from delta and maybe we can see the beautiful a321
This A321 already left for the weekend.
What a pity but it was still nice to know that Ecuadorian aviation continues to grow and that internationally they are beginning to trust us more
Totally agree.
Today my brother and I are going to the airport to see my aunt for my grandfather's wake, my aunt is going to arrive in delta possibly in the 767 and maybe we can see this beautiful plane
Delta is operating with the Boeing 757 right now.
I really like him more 757 but my aunt turned out that she arrived in the beautiful 737 MAX, I couldn't go because of a curfew or something like that, they put them off but I followed it on flightradar 24 and I arrive with a 737-800 and the 787-8 that they were going to guayaquil
Then he arrived on American Airlines.
