Flight cancellations involve a refund from Eastern airlines, son 3 months and I have no news, Rumor has it that it will definitely stop operating in Ecuador … they take our money ? … expect some demand through ??
Hello Marlene, what is the source of information that definitively stop operating in Ecuador?
And when for the airport
«international» of the third city Cuenca .
For when the Cuenca Airport complies with what is necessary to be qualified as international.
With planes like the B772 with many years and cycles of operation and one or another former Malaysia Airlines currently operating, Eastern will have to ensure its profitability and operating costs in the short-medium term. Today almost very few airlines operate the B772, prefer the A359 for consuming almost a 25% less fuel per seat.
Agree, the difference is that the airlines that operate the A350 have a great financial muscle, while one that is just starting out needs to save those costs and better lease older aircraft that are cheaper than new ones.
So is, and more when today having traffic is complicated. in the future yes, it will be easier for Eastern to operate A350s or B787s as major Middle Eastern carriers like Etihad will this year retire their B777-300ERs in favor of A350-1000s and slightly smaller B787-9s. talk about a 15% still 25% savings is enough.
Of course, but those new planes are extremely expensive for a new and growing airline.
