Luego de varios años, aerolídutch nea KLM landedó en Quito y Guayaquil con un nuevo avión para sus operaciones entre Ecuador and the Paílow ses.
the boeing 787 of KLM for the first time in Ecuador
Last 7 of May, the línever aérea real holandesa llegó al Ecuador operating with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner for the first time. Recordemos que KLM únicamente operaba los Boeing 777-200ER y -300ER en nuestro país al ofrecer mayor capacidad de carga y pasajeros.
In the middle of 2015, se habló de la posibilidad de que Quito y Guayaquil sean los primeros destinos de KLM with his new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, replacing its Boeing 777-200ER and -300ER, que operaban al país desde octubre de 2011 when the legendary MD-11 were removed from said route.
Pitifully, debido a temas operacionales con la carga que maneja la aerolínea en los vuelos de pasajeros, la llegada del B787 a Ecuador no se concretó y KLM operó a otros destinos con este mismo avión y continuó servicio a Ecuador with the B777.
Semanas atrás se conoció que un único vuelo de KLM sería operado finalmente con el Dreamliner, y así the día llegó. At 14:31 of the 7 de mayo tocó tierra en Quito con 266 passengers on board and almost 400 checked bags, and el Boeing 787 de KLM procedente de ÁAmsterdam, called “Bougainvillaea” and registered as PH-BHD and was received by the traditional water arch.

That's right Nicholas, let's hope so.
Air Europa already operates the B787-8/9, now if demand increases in summer KLM always operates the imposing B777-200/300. Nevertheless, the B777-200ER already have more than 14 years of age and consume almost a 25% more kerosene than the B787-10, that's why they are the perfect replacement.
Precisely, is the official replacement.
It would also be nice if they fly in CD9 , they are very good planes , I got on one of those in the 87 , spectacular
Good Morning
It would be nice to see the 777-X operating this route
For that it will be necessary to wait at least a few 5 years.
Hi Nicolas,
Thank you very much for the report 👌🏻 excellent!
We hope that KLM continues to serve Ecuador with state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly aircraft such as the B787s and this time the variant 9. My greatest wish is that the B777-300ER and the B787-10 continue to operate., the latter with 344 seating, compared to the B777-200ER with 316 seating.
Kind regards.
I believe that in a short time we could see the -10 doing some flight in Ecuador to see how it goes.
