Buenas tardes
In the letter sent by the Ministry of Health, I note that Quiport is notified , but not to TAGSA or to any organization that has to do with the Guayaquil airport.
I find it weird

for more, communication in general is very rare.
Dear Nicholas, airlines are not notified, they know nothing and the travel agencies are waiting for the national COE to rule, so we continue with a negative PCR or it does not ship, In addition, the PCR are in the USA at $150 each test and the results arrive between 48 a 72 hours.
Thank you Jaime, Unfortunately, this is what I feared in the face of last minute measures and non-massive notifications to North American airlines..
Nicolas, thanks for the info. I have asked the airlines, and they tell me they don't know anything. what is your source?
Thanks
