It is always positive to operate with the latest generation aircraft, welcome to United Airlines 🇺🇲 with the Boeing 737 Max 8 To Quito. yes nicholas, in high season they tend to increase frequencies and at least if they would not, they can send the version 9 as Aeroméxico and Copa Airlines have already done, not necessarily in high seasons.
On the other hand, I see that Delta Airlines 🇺🇲 has already left the B757-200 and brings the Boeing 767-300ER to Quito, its closest replacement in terms of future capacity would be the Boeing 767-400/Airbus A330-200 or even larger and more modern Airbus A330-900 Neo. Hopefully the demand justifies it to be able to see one of these great ones here with the Delta colors.
Hi Carlos, you came across a good topic, I am still not clear in the medium term which Delta plane will take the route to Quito, everything will depend on the demand, if it stays high like right now with the Boeing 767, I'm sure we'll be able to see some of Delta's most modern aircraft here, we will see.
