Celebración 25 añthose of united in Ecuador
It would be good if they resume the route to Newark
Completely, It would be a great route without a doubt.
I don't have the exact date, but I had understood that Continental began its operations in Ecuador with flights from Houston to Guayaquil, and then Quito was added. What's more, for a while they also flew to Newark, but not sure if it was from both cities or just GYE. It was long before the merger, it was still mainland.
yes and indeed, initial flights were Houston – Panama – Quito – Guayaquil and return. I'm not sure about Newark.
