The airline Arajet informed about its upcoming suspension of operations to Ecuador, country to which it currently has flights to Quito and Guayaquil.
It is always sad to have to report negative news for our small airline industry, but that's aviation: a very dynamic business where profitability is key to sustaining routes or destinations over time.
They will have been fulfilled just 3 years since Arajet began flights to Ecuador, to see one more airline stop flying to our country. Positive news has not been abundant in recent times and today I have to tell you again about one more company that leaves us, Hopefully, temporarily.
ARAJET stops flying to Quito and Guayaquil in Ecuador
Was the 2 November 2022, and just like one of the airline's first international routes, what Arajet began its flights to Quito and the next day Guayaquil, but this operation, which over time grew by separating the routes, operated without triangulation between both destinations and which seemed to be sustained even more when Arajet closed other routes that began at the same time as Ecuador, will come to an end next 8 November 2025.
The airline has already informed its customers of this change via a statement detailed below.:
We are writing to you after a careful evaluation, At Arajet we have made the difficult decision to suspend our operations in the Ecuadorian market for the moment., from 8 of November of 2025.
This decision is part of a broader strategy to optimize our network in the short and medium term.. Until that date we will be operating the flights we have published on a regular basis. We want to express our most sincere gratitude for the trust and support that our passengers in Ecuador have given us., as well as the partners with whom we have had the joy of working during this time.
It has been an honor to serve this market, and we are proud to have contributed to connecting people and destinations in the region. We are committed to serving all customers with reservations after the end date and Arajet will automatically provide a refund for the full amount of each reservation, communicating this process in greater detail via email.

Suspension details
As the statement indicates, the airline will stop flying to Ecuador from the next 8 of November, highlighting that until then, The flights a Quito and Guayaquil They will operate without changes and normally with two weekly flights to each destination.
It is also important to indicate, that if you are a passenger with a ticket after the indicated date, The refund will be automatic and can be contacted at the numbers +593 02 6020987 O +593 02 6020988 o al email [email protected].
Finally, It is worth noting that the airline leaves the doors open to a possible future return, which will depend clearly on the reception of the delayed planes Boeing 737 MAX and growth plans focused at this time mainly on USA.
And so, Ecuador loses a new direct route, leaving only as an option to fly to Punta Cana connection in the hubs of the region or in the charters of Aeroregional.
As a personal opinion, I trust in the return of Arajet when they receive new planes and more pilots join the airline, At that time the routes towards USA are consolidated and can be connected efficiently in Punta Cana toward New York and Miami, predilect destinations of Ecuadorians.
We will keep reporting.
