Following the long-awaited announcement of a reduction in Eco Delta for airports of Quito and Guayaquil, what will be the new prices of air tickets on international flights from june?
Last 29 march 2023 the announcement that I have been pressing years ago, the Eco Delta is also reduced for Quito and Guayaquil, remember that it had previously been reduced to $5 dollars for Manta and Cuenca.
The announcement seeks to increase the air competitiveness that Ecuador as for the Taxes and fees that they charge for plane tickets and that we pay for both Ecuadorians and tourists, it's not just the Eco Delta that shrinks, but also the Tourist Power paid by travelers to the country.
The new prices from June
However, the reduction of the Eco Delta that we will begin to see on our tickets from the 1 of June, where instead of always paying, no matter the distance of the flight $50 Dollars, will become only 5% of the net fare charged by the airline excluding fees and taxes.
As a request from several blog readers and as a kind of price monitoring, I have prepared a list of how much international tickets cost from Ecuador and how much should we start paying from the 1 next June.
The table indicated here has the rates that the airlines report monthly to the DGAC and that it is in the public domain, having said that, other promo rates could be found even cheaper than those represented here, but they are a reference to be able to see the potential reduction by route:
| ROUTE | AIRLINE | TARIFA NETA | TOTAL PRICE MARCH 2023 | TOTAL PRICE JUNE 2023 |
| UIO-MEX | Aeromexico | 548 | 835.95 | 813.55 |
| GYE FOOD | Air Europa | 700 | 1031.25 | 1016.25 |
| UIO-MIA | American Airlines | 301 | 493.41 | 458.46 |
| GYE-PTY | Copa Airlines | 206 | 375.67 | 335.97 |
| UIO-ATL | Delta Air Lines | 431 | 744.14 | 715.69 |
| GYE FOOD | Iberia | 715 | 1048 | 1033.75 |
| GYE-JFK | JetBlue | 490 | 675.3 | 649.8 |
| UIO GLUE | LATAM | 236 | 451.16 | 412.96 |
| GYE-FLL | Spirit | 278 | 475.22 | 439.12 |
| UIO BOOK | Avianca | 172 | 368.48 | 327.08 |
| GYE-AMS | KLM | 905 | 1439.84 | 1435.09 |
| UIO-IAH | United | 410 | 897.7 | 868.2 |
| GYE-BOG | Wingo | 1 | 171.72 | 121.77 |
| UIO-SDQ | Arajet | 199 | 370.72 | 330.67 |
As we can see in the picture, the shorter the flight, generally the net fee will be lower, therefore the reduction of the Echo Delta is more notorious as we can see in the GYE-BOG example of Wingo, but everything will depend on the airline's rate, but we have a reference.
Remember that these prices are estimates and may change., so they should be used for reference only., more not exactly like the prices we will see, since there are promotional prices where the net rate is even lower.
Final note: These prices were based on information from the DGAC together with the rates that were found online at the time of carrying out this investigation..
Do you consider that the reduction is significant and will cause more Ecuadorians to fly? I read them…

What position would put Ecuador with respect to the taxes of other Latin American countries? If I don't remember badly, we were #2 With more Latin American Taxes behind Argentina
We are definitely at the top 5, We will have to see if this measure allows us to go down.
Hi Nicolas, I think it helps, But it does not attack structural problems, since the flights from uio (I do not know the reason) They are still more expensive than starting from Gye. On the other hand, If the goal is to be more competitive, This can be subjective depending on the final prices and routes. It seems to me that the most benefited are going to be the Ecuadorians who travel abroad, since on the other hand the security situation and others in the country do not help for foreign tourism.
The difference between Quito and Guayaquil is at the cost of the airport rate.
The reduction is not significant.
The theme was only to distract attention from the high prices and from the airlines as well as from the set of taxes, including this
But by itself after the great show of months we see that the reduction goes from 10 a 30 maximum dollars which is not significant to increase the number of travelers
It seems you didn't read well, the reduction can be up to $47.5, it all depends on the net rate. It's not much on several routes, but undoubtedly on short flights the difference will be more noticeable and will boost demand. There are travelers who choose one airline over another due to a difference in $5 Dollars, imagine for $40 dollars minus what it would generate in users.
