¿To beán estos los primeros aviones de Ecuadorian Airlines? Las próximas semanas lo dirán.
It also means that they discarded the 717? because I would be very sorry or they would bring it for a future because I think the Beechcraft 1900 It is confirmed that it will not arrive but the 717 yes or no?
Only the Dash will come as its first plane.
ahh I was already excited, What a pity that they don't come 717 to Ecuador but still the dashes are nice planes and I am proud that they arrive in Ecuador
Good information Nicolas regarding this airline, now with respect to the company Equair will operate with 737-700 that plane has the capacity to operate on runways like the one in Cuenca?
Hi samuel, I understand that they could not operate in Cuenca.
noooooo I wanted to see these planes arrive in Cuenca because, but the boeing 737-700 it is not a counterpart of the a319 because it does operate in basin and even if it were bigger the a320 still operates here in basin so what is the problem?
(I hope that if they add another type of aircraft to the fleet, this one can reach more runways because Cuenca is an important market for Ecuador as well., maybe the 737-600 if I can get to cuanca but I see it unlikely that they will bring such a rare plane to Ecuador
It's a performance thing.
