In November of theñor past habíThe definitive change of the root has already been reportedón social of Aerogal by Avianca-Ecuador S.A which legally put an end to the brand definitively, butúThere were some memories flying in Ecuador.
Definitely, 2 airplanes Avianca Ecuador aún teníAerogal painting until June, but úlast Airbus A319 HC-CLF that I haveíin the image of the iguana, was recently re-painted with the current Avianca image during a scheduled checkup C.
Only one plane leftón más for painting like Avianca, the HC-CJM was next in lineínea, but it wasn't like thatí and took offó of the país the dífrom yesterday 11 June 2018 at 15:58 in the afternoon heading to Medellín, where the avión enterá in maintenance service, removalón of tíAerogal tickets to later fly in transfer to its new operator that will beía Air Asia.
The HC-CJM with núMSN serial grouper 4379 operó in Ecuador totally new of fábrica for almost 8 años, arrivedó in august 2010. This was the first Airbus A320 from Aerogal at that time as part of the modernizationócompany fleet numberñíwithin the fusion processóGradual partnership with Avianca.
powered by 2 CFM-56-5 engines with capacity for 150 passengers in 2 lessons (Business 12 and Económica 138), it's avión was key in the positioning of Aerolíne within the change towards Avianca to recover the market in destinations like Galápayments where is avión offeredó a new estáservice standard, comfort and technologyía.
I have to admit that I did not expect the release of this aircraftón of the Avianca Ecuador fleet, especially for being máIt's new that some Airbus A320 and Airbus A319 in the fleet do not even have the statusándar of service on board the rest of the fleet, but in business matters between Aerolíneas and lessors nothing is everá said and the economyíto the airlineíno primacy before anything.
For this same output it is that in the úIn recent months, movements have been made in the Ecuadorian fleet, now remaining after the departure of the HC-CJM, with a fleet of 10 operational aircraft with which Avianca Ecuador flies to 7 national destinations and covers 12 international destinations of the Avianca group.
Correct Nicholas…Galapagos, as well as the Quito-Guayaquil air bridge, are part of the dense national routes and the A320 is the best, as are international routes to Bogotá and other regional destinations from large cities..
It should also be remembered that the A321 is not yet necessary for domestic routes.
In practice, There is no air bridge between Quito and Guayaquil.
Aircraft are leased for a certain period of time with wet or dried leasing and the Avianca group is no exception..
Let's remember the orders that will arrive at the main Avianca Colombia, A320 Neos family that will be distributed to subsidiaries and where it is most necessary to replace the oldest ones. Hopefully Avianca Ecuador, the A319 of exMexicana…
Personally, I see that for domestic flights the A319 perfectly covers the demand and occupancy.. The A320s are needed less and for more dense and international destinations.
The A320s are perfect for Galapagos.
