We could expect new American airlines and destinations with the open-close agreement already signed with the United States?
Completely, but it seems to me that something is still missing for this agreement to work.
Hello there
What news is there of low cost airlines that were interested in flying from Chile to Ecuador?, call them Sky or Smarjet ?
Flights will resume from Mexico City and Cancun to Guayaquil ?
Greetings
JIMMY
There are rumors of JetSmart and Sky, both are advancing, but nothing concrete yet. From Mexico – Guayaquil I still do not see any clear intention.
I hope Air France returns and some other European airline like Tap
Lufthansa would be great
