  2. Congratulations and it is excellent news for you to know our city of Quito and Guayaquil but it would be very good if they extended the routes to Los Angeles, the USA and New York are the places where there are many Ecuadorians and tourism would increase much more

    What good news Nicholas! Not only for commemorating the bicentennial of our city, but also for parking the plane in a terminal in another country, many will be able to read and be interested in Quito, its history and what it is today and be motivated to travel one day.

    Greetings, and a great and happy 2023!
