Six months have passed since first flight from EquAir, How are the airline operations after this time?? I tell you in this new report.
When EquAir began its flights a little over six months ago as the fourth Ecuadorian domestic airline, this generated an important noise regarding its complete service for its tariffs: free seat assignment at check-in, carry-on bag and bodega and snack or food service on all its flights according to the duration at no extra cost.
These differentiating factors generated very good comments on social networks and attracted the attention of users in a positive way., so in this report I will tell you how all these factors continue, does it hold or not? Here I tell you.
Flight with EquAir six months later
On the occasion of an event in Guayaquil, I traveled with them from Quito in one of their Boeing 737-700 and take advantage of this to tell you how it has evolved, what has and has not changed in the overall airline service.
When it started its operations a little over six months ago, several comments were read on social networks doubting that the service of the first days was going to be maintained over time and that it was just an advertising campaign.
Is it so and the service on board has declined? I tell you all the details in this new flight report, that starts with this video with additional information about what you will read today here:
I start by telling you that a change occurred at the Quito Airport, where unlike the first day of operations where I was present, the check-in counters moved a bit in Zone A, a small change, but that I thought it appropriate to tell you.
At the moment, the airline operates with its 2 Boeing 737-700 from Quito to Guayaquil, Baltra and San Cristobal, having transported in its first months more than 127.641 passengers on international routes.
If you have a flight with EquAir, remember that the airline has activated the web check-in service at no extra cost for seat selection, so do not forget to do it to save time at the airport and if you have a suitcase in the hold, you just have to enter it and continue to filters.
Son 6 crews of pilots who currently work for the airline and who, together with the rest of the airline's team, add up to 168 collaborators have maintained a puntuality of the 98.3% in these first months of operation.
After having done more than 2200 takeoffs and flown 2200 flight hours adding at least 7 million in sales, the airline has already managed to capture the attention of domestic and international travelers, but has your service changed that attracted so much attention in the beginning?
This time I flew on the Boeing 737-700 HC-CXB with serial number 38125, which has 11 years since his first flight for the previous operator that was KLM.
One characteristic that remains is the smell when entering their planes, this smell of chocolate (although others say that it flies to orange) It is very characteristic and attracts attention., but if you were a person who does not like these aromas, could become annoying.
Regarding the service of cabin crew, I was able to notice a complete fluidity in the ad processes and how they unfold through the cabin of the plane, logically the months have passed and let's say that even some small nerves from the first day have been left behind. The attention is nice and friendly.
the flight of EquAir took off within the itinerary at 09:30 am with an occupation of 80%. The food service during this flight remains as on the first day: a Pacari chocolate plus a bottle of water.
This snack is delivered in class Cacao which is the economy class of other airlines, while if they fly in the class great cocoa, the service consists of a canape and drinks of your choice (tea, café, Water, juice or beer).
Let's talk a little about luggage, for your flight you must take into account that all the EquAir fares Includes one carry-on bag and one in bodega no additional cost, but if you take the latter, take the extra time at the airport to check it..
In conclusion, the service, attention and advantages that this airline offers on its flights has remained unchanged in these first six months of operation, which recently also expanded its operation towards international charters with flights to Punta Cana, so the projections are good and even a third aircraft would be on the horizon.

Good article.
Although the service is good, nothing more than a comment I can tell you for example that I recently traveled with a carrier between GYE and UIO and the plane does not have space assigned for these items.
