The Ecuadorian airline EquAir reports on the operation of its flights in the midst of the national strike and demonstrations that are taking place in various areas of Ecuador.
Between states of exception, curfews, road closure and cancellation of flights, The country seeks to maintain, as much as possible, normal operating conditions in several of its sectors that are key to trade and economic development..
One of these sectors, which in itself is already highly affected by a pandemic that does not end, finds itself in Ecuador with a new challenge brought by the stoppage of activities in some sectors and the drop in demand that the fear of moving by land to and from the airports has generated.
Although the losses for the air sector have not yet been quantified, in the country in general there are hundreds of millions affected, so some of these values will correspond to the aeronautical category.
EquAir and the status of its flights
in a newsletter, the airline commented that despite the current difficulties it operated 86 flights to the cities of Quito, Guayaquil and Galapagos, carrying 150.000 kilos during the last 8 days, the 80% it was medicine, 15% foods and 5% among other products.
These operations were supported by the work of 45 people determined to join their efforts, from the 4 from morning until 23:30. What's more, excellent prices have been offered in its cargo service in order to facilitate the transfer of food and medicine for those who need it most and contribute to the catering of these products in the country.
Finally, the statement calls for the unity of the country in these moments of division:
The last days and weeks have not been easy for the country, the mobilizations and demands of a sector of the population have affected the daily activities of many citizens. from Equair, We deeply regret the division that recent events have generated, because one of our horizons and reasons for being is
precisely to see a united Ecuador, prosperous and optimistic for all.An airline that flies in order to unite Ecuadorians cannot leave its dreams on the ground, that's why we don't stop taking off during these days.
