Delta Airlines Quito Itinerary
The route to Quito has a durationón of 5 hours with 16 minutes and operates at the following times:
- Takes off from Atlanta at 17:55pm and lands in Quito at 11:13pm.
- The return flight takes off from Quito at 12:30am and land back in Georgia at 5:46am del díto next.
Recently, the airíI do not requestó before the National Aviation Councilón Civil – CNAC, la renovationón of your operating permitón regular to Quito secún is detailed:
In the order, It stands out that the aerosolínea requests to renew its permit on the Atlanta route – Quito and/or Guayaquil and vice versa with 7 weekly frequencies with traffic rightsáfic of third and fourth freedom of the air.
The planes that Delta Airlines useá in service are Boeings 737, 757 and 767, so there is no news in your request and you will maintainá the operationón themselvesún has been operating it until todayífrom today.
It would be interesting if they return to Guayaquil (GYE) they already have more efficient equipment such as the Boeing 737-900ER and the Airbus A321neo , even the new Airbus A220s have enough range to fly to GYE
If the market continues to grow, could be, but a lot will depend on your previous experience and let's say, desire, to return after the experience that was not fruitful.
Hopefully this time they allow delta to reach Guayaquil because they didn't let it before
The MIAMI Guayaquil flight would be a success for it to compete with AMERICAN that how it is alone gives a lousy service
Delta has already arrived in Guayaquil, flew and closed due to low demand, same as united, no one has stopped them.
I have a question if the flight from Atlanta to UIO arrives 11:30 pm, and the return one comes out 12:30 am, the same plane and same pilots are used?
Yes, it's the same plane, but change the whole crew.
Unfortunately, the staff that work in delta uio are outsourced, having a lower remuneration than a basic salary, If it weren't for that, work would be a paradise..
Excellent flight, I used it on a trip to Miami, although the itinerary was heavy, the giant Atlanta airport was worth it
Interesting to fly to Atlanta and then go down to Miami, I assume it was a good fee.
I live in England and in the distance I see the flights on flightradar24. Thanks for the clarification Nicholas..
I tell you that on the Delta page when operating in alliance with KLM the purchase of my ticket I also saw on a date in November 2016 O 2017 operated by MD-88 the Atlanta route – Quito. Equal, it must have been a system error then.
Definitely, system error, what happens is that the MD-88 make the flight DLA673 New York – Atlanta – Quito, so sometimes the system takes what the ATL does – UIO, but they really operate Boeing.
correction, domingo 28 from January 2018. 😉
Confirmed, it was a system error, did not arrive in Quito, it was just a programming error, but operated Boeing 757 that day.
A Delta MD-88 arrived in Quito the last week of January 2018, on Sunday 29. Registration N987DL, distance 3810 km in 5 hours, 25 minutes by flight from Atlanta:

I saw it myself on Flightradar24.
It seems to me that Delta is the best option to fly to the USA of the American airlines that arrive in Quito. Your home network from Atlanta is fabulous, the staff is friendly and has the best IFE I have ever seen, although the night flight is somewhat tiring. They always do something extra, they feed you constantly (even on domestic flights) and they offer Starbucks coffee ?
Thanks for commenting John!
On certain occasions Delta has operated with the MD-88 on one of its flights or daily frequencies from Atlanta to Quito as I was able to follow on Flightradar24.com, a few months ago. As you say, Nicolás, the MDs will be replaced by B737 NG, A321 Neos y CSeries. Currently, according to its configuration, it is an intermediate aircraft between the B737-700 and B757-200 that operates to Quito..
Delta will operate the B737-900NG and hopefully we will see these visiting Ecuador or the B767-300ER or who knows the B767-400 in high demand season.
When? I never saw them in Quito, I would think that the performance is restrictive because of the height. Do you have the date when it came??
It could be an error of Flightradar24
Surely.
I work for DL and I assure you that he has never come! as data, it could be the case that he comes 767 in any of its versions. As for the 737(old or new) At the moment there are no plans for the ATL UIO Atl route
Kind regards
