This growth is sustained by the arrival of a third aircraft, of the model Boeing 737-400, with which it will underpin this operation and its international growth plans.

Interesting start of this new route by Aeroregional, good for Galapagos that will have a new option to be able to transport. What is worrying is that there is no system of differentiated rates, that did not allow them to be competitive in Cuenca where he ended up retiring. Another problem could also be how the aircraft type was indicated above, the one that despite being a very good plane, It already has its years if we compare it with the flora of its competitors. Another obstacle that must be overcome is the regularity of flights, since on this route you cannot afford to delay and worse cancel a flight. The other disadvantage it has is not being part of a global passenger distribution system., which would not allow you to sell your flights on other associated airlines from abroad. An unfortunate example of what I point out was that of Tame, who lost all international passenger traffic to the Galapagos with the entry of One World and Star Alliance with LAN and Avianca respectively.
good comment paul, they will surely work on these issues as they position themselves in the market.
Completely, that is the priority generation of employment, good service, punctuality and safety to travel.
Just like Carlos, thanks for comment!
Yes, ok, but the third plane is highly likely to be another Boeing. 737-500.
And if it were so, it's not a problem, the important thing is that jobs and growth are generated within the recovery.
Aeroregional is doing well and with flights to the Galapagos its benefits will undoubtedly improve.
It would be nice if they finally decommissioned those Boeing 737-500, They are classic and they start operating, for example, Boeing 737-700 NG that many airlines no longer want. I know that it is a considerable financial investment movement but it is better to operate modern equipment, I'm not talking about the B737 Max, but yes of the Next Generation and without a doubt it would give them better competitiveness since LATAM, AVIANCA use equipment from the Airbus A320 family and are much more efficient.
everything in its time, if the airline maintains its growth, do not doubt that they will think, if they haven't already, to incorporate newer aircraft.
