Before starting to fly regularly, its flights beán in ch modeárter, con lo que finalmente se logra entender el objetivo de la aerolínea, que aquí hemos reportado paso a paso cada una de sus intenciones de volar en Ecuador y convertise en la cuarta aerolínea comercial del país.
La historia de Aéreoregional ha ido evolucionando de la siguiente manera:
- Aéreoregional volará between Cuenca and Guayaquil: en esta primera información la empresa notificó que entre julio y agosto iniciaría vuelos entre Cuenca y Guayaquil, en ese entonces con permiso de operaciótaxi number toéreo RDAC 121 y contaban con la opción de operar esta ruta con la Cessna 421C Golden Eagle HC-CLI. Subsequently, esta idea quedó plenamente descartada por funcionarios de la empresa por temas comerciales y de performance del avión.
- Aéreoregional cambia a operación chárter: en la segunda publicación que hice sobre esta nueva aerolínea, se pudo conocer el plan de la empresa de cambiar su tipo de operaciótaxi number toéreo a operación chárter nacional RDAC 135, proceso en el cual se encuentran actualmente en certificación Etapa 3.

For this end, the airínea solicita incorporar en su permiso de operación los aviones:

Con este trámite, la empresa mientras sigue en curso su certificación like aerosolínea chárter espera avanzar en el proceso de ser una aerolínea regular para así, be able to sell tickets directly and publish itineraries at regular times.
I think an ATR 42 O 72 would have been the best options for efficiency and costs
Can be, but they need to maintain a unified fleet, which also helps with costs.
With that plane it will be a failure and according to the frequencies granted in destinations and number it will also be a failure., I have the fatal experience of having worked in two airlines that do things the same now Aircuenca and Lac are bankrupt, and to make charter flights on international routes with this plane another failure , airplanes that consume twice as much fuel compared to new generation airplanes
Hello Amparo, I agree with your comment, What I hope is temporary since it is a plane that is too big for domestic flights in Ecuador and expensive., but they sure did the studies. It is said that they will also bring a CRJ 200 and a – 300.
In the end, Let's all hope for the success of the airline so that the market has greater competitiveness for the benefit of us users..
The operation begins in July?
It's good that there are more national options.
They want to start at the end of this month March,no date yet.
Positive that there is more flight offer and I hope Aéroregional can have more modern equipment in the future and can replace them with the A320 Ceo or B737 NG family. Bombardiers like CRJ-700 or Embraer 170 O 175 depending on your growth. And if turboprops are better for domestic routes, ATRs would do a good job.
They must go little by little, Same as my personal way of seeing, a 737-500 It's too big to start a project, but I hope it goes excellent.
