After abandoning the traditional triangulation between Madrid – Quito – Guayaquil in february 2017 and having subsequently returned to Jose Joaquin de Olmedo the 13 from December to 2019 with up to four weekly frequencies, Now the airline is preparing to reinforce its presence in this destination with an increase in flights.
Iberia seeks more flights to Guayaquil
Everything points to success on the route and demand has managed to be stimulated to the point of needing more direct non-stop flights between Madrid and Guayaquil, that will start in the summer season 2024, subject to changes and market conditions.
Till the date, Iberia It has an operating permit for four weekly flights, which are added to the seven of the independent route towards Quito, but with processing 24 last august, the airline is looking for a higher frequency.
concretely, The airline requested the modification of the operating permit to operate the air transport service, public,
international, regular, passenger, cargo and mail, in combined form, renewed by the National Civil Aviation Council through Agreement No.. 037/2022 from 08 November 2022, which consists of increasing a frequency on the MADRID – GUAYAQUIL – MADRID route, leaving your route table as follows:
- MADRID – QUITO – MADRID, seven (7) weekly frequencies; and,
- MADRID – GUAYAQUIL – MADRID, cinco (5) weekly frequencies
In this way, in high season next year and depending on how the growing demand for flights to Europe, The airline could operate in Ecuador until 12 weekly frequencies in total, which reaffirms it as the main operator from the old continent to our country.
Let us remember that it also operates towards Madrid Air Europa with up to five weekly frequencies, but it advances in the purchasing process with precisely Iberia.
I will continue updating when the start of operations of this important fifth frequency is confirmed towards the José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport, route that is operated with Airbus A330 aircraft configured to 288 passengers in two classes.
