United began flights with the MAX in Ecuador
The American airline operates at Ecuador from 1992, at that time it began its flights under its old name: Continental Airlines on Boeing aircraft 727-200 who made an intermediate scale in Panama.
At that time the airline also operated to the city of Buenos Aires with its B737-800 NG. Unfortunately years later the route was closed to Guayaquil, but the airline continued to fly direct to Quito, making this one of the main options for traveling to the US or, if applicable, via the US to Asia and Europe..
Until before the arrival of the MAX to Ecuador, United operated this route with its Boeing 737-700 and -800 NG and in seasons of high density used their Boeing 757-200. Now, with this modern aircraft United increases its offer of seats to Quito permanently in addition to offering a more comfortable and efficient service with less environmental impact and a lower cost of combustible.
Former visitors of this airline, the B737-700 offered a daily flight between Quito y Houston with capacity for 126 passengers. On the other hand, in high season with the Boeing 757 offered on each flight a total of 169 seating. now with the MAX 8 it will be offered permanently and not only in high season, a total of 166 chairs, only 3 seats less than the B757 and with a much lower consumption of combustible.
in this first time, the result was better than expected and the first flight of the MAX of United had a 90% occupancy in its first section to Quito and on the way back the flight departed to 100% of his ability. Thus completing the new improvement of flights between the state of Texas and the Middle of the World.

Something is known about the operation of aeroregional to Panama?
I've seen some posts from them on their social media, but I don't have more information.
GOL's 737max is also missed when it came from Sao Paulo. I hope they intend to restart the route to Quito soon.
Let's hope they come back! So be it in a few more months, but let them come.
