Viva Air Ecuador

After the start of operations in Peruú, the Viva group has adopted a new commercial name, leaving behindás him for example, Viva Colombia and adapting a uniform brand under Viva Air.

This trademark is intended to be a single name in the different paícountries where they fly or open subsidiaries, as was the case in Peruú, It is even said that VivaColombia alsoén adoptíto this new name.

In the expansionón, we always talk about whyé They skipped Ecuador and went straight to Peruú, Apart from the obvious reasons such as the sizeñor from the markets toéprisoners, populationón and facilities for investmentón, Now Ecuador is showing itself much moreás competitive.

On his recent visit to Ecuador that was thanks to Routes Americas, Declan Ryan has released the púHe discussed some details of his plans for Ecuador and personally during his participation.óI was not able to ask him about the specific plansífics for Ecuador and the details that I was able to know so far are the following:

• Declan Ryan visitó and spokeó already with 3 Ecuadorian airports to analyze the start of operations.
• Visitó the Latacunga Airport and sees it as a potential HUB for domestic flightsésticos in Ecuador.
• Commentó that of the 50 Airbus aircraft 320 new ones I boughtó the group, 15 andán to Perú and of those some will comeán a Ecuador, without specifying núheritage.
• VivaColombia backá to fly from Bogotá, but it isá defining whether they do it to Quito or Latacunga, to dependá of the benefits that each airport gives to the airlineínea, but this decisionón se dará coming soon.

With these data, the only thing left to know is the intention.ófirm to create Viva Air Ecuador to fly to potential attractive airports like Cuenca, Manta, Guayaquil and Galápaid.

From the airport they fly, Quito or Latacunga (remember that originally the aerosolíne flyíto Cotopaxi), spaghettién saldríthe potential flights of Viva Air Ecuador according toúAs we can speculate and given the new operating regulationsón, the grandfatherócan'títo arrive as an international from Bogotá and continue as an example towards Galápaid as a giftéstic with marriageíColombian or other país.

so that this úlast possible, should beá establish the aerolínea in Ecuador and have a staff of Ecuadorian pilots and cabin crew.

Let's wait for the development of this excellent news for Ecuador that will bringíto a great new competition to the market with the first aerolínea 100% low cost ecuatoriana.
