history of the boeing 747-400 of passengers in Ecuador
This will not beá the first time a Boeing 747-400 of passengers operate regularly in Ecuador, but yesí to beá the return of this aircraft within an operationón regular to país since the beginning or mid-90s.
Previously, from the 80s to the 90s approximately, see «The Queen» in Ecuador with passengers flying regularly it was very normal. The aerosolsíneas Iberia, Lufthansa and Air France operated their respective models of the élittle on its routes to Quito and Guayaquil.
The routes were, for example that of Lufthansa vía Bogotá from Frankfurt, but later they were replaced by Airbus aircraft 340-300 until the closure of airline routesíGerman airline and Air France that saw the decrease in their profitability of flights to Ecuador.
Other Boeing 747-400 of passengers have arrived in Ecuador, but in ch modeárter. For instance, remember the arrival in Quito of a Corsair B747, Air China with delegations or Qantas to Guayaquil with a large group of tourists.
Surely other más have arrived, but these are the ones that have been photographedías or reports throughout the yearsños.
We hope to see the photos of the return of a Boeing 747 of passengers to Ecuador in the próximos días, which without a doubt beá a great attraction for spotters and fans.
Personally I have always liked the B747-400 and the Airbus A340-600, However, the new IBERIA Airbus A350-900, release client with new winglets reduce a 1% fuel consumption compared to early A350-900, pesa 100 tons less and consumes 30% less kerosene than the A340-600. IBERIA knows in numbers what it has to do with its four-engines.
It's obvious, they will go out and we will see the A350 in Quito.
And even the Airbus A340-600 is already expensive for IBERIA to operate, although they will continue to arrive in Ecuador for several more years until the Airbus A350-900 take over..
Of course, the twins will take over the world.
Interesting report of the "arrival" of the 747 albeit temporarily. You know, Nicolas, that the trend is for two-engine aircraft, mainly for economic reasons..
This is the trend of the large manufacturers of commercial aircraft for long distances
Completely, is the trend, even the A380 is on its way out. It will still be nice to see a 747 flying in Ecuador again, so be a few days.
