The airline Avianca Ecuador will have two weekly flights between Manta and Galapagos operating at Isla Baltra.

After several months of waiting, the government of Galapagos announced that it authorized the airline Avianca Ecuador to increase two weekly frequencies towards Galapagos to your operating permit.

Let us remember at this point that, the frequencies to Galapagos are limited due to conservation of the archipelago, so that since they are all occupied by LATAM Ecuador, Equair and her own Avianca Ecuador, these two weekly frequencies are additional and it is an important fact that more frequencies are authorized again.
