I leave with you some photographsíAce of the arrival of the planeóto Latacunga:
We will continue to inform you about the news to comeá to be the fourth airíEcuadorian regular line.
I think they have rented planes too old.
a plane with more than 27 years?
For more maintenance, the useful life already takes its toll and it will be very expensive to operate it., it would be better to rent a new one or one with little use, I have contact with Pilatus and I could help them with them, have the PCs 12 they are great and cheap.
Too small the PC-12 for airline plans.
Yes, but the price of renting the pc 12 It is super cheap and the idea is about 4 O 6 from them
congratulations gentlemen
Dear Nicholas;
I had the opportunity to travel in the first Aeroregional (the twin of this plane) Panama is relatively well except for certain interior details in which the years of use are already noticeable, such as the seats and other small details in which the airline should pay more attention to that, but in itself the most important thing that is the technical maintenance was seen well because the round trip plane had no problems, Among all that is really secondary, I wish the best success to this fourth airline in Ecuador and hoping that very soon we will see Aeroregional flying on regular flights within Ecuador as well as the other three airlines that are currently on regular domestic flights. and cabotage.
Thank you for sharing your experience Bruno., hopefully in a future maintenance C they can fix those details that you indicate.
Good for this new Ecuadorian airline, I hope the aeronautical authorities and especially the DAC will give them the facilities in compliance with the law so that it operates as soon as possible without putting the typical bureaucratic obstacles to this effort of Ecuadorian capital that dares to invest in our aviation. civil private commercial
