In this new flight report I show you the details of what was the inaugural flight of Avianca Ecuador from Guayaquil toward New York.
We were able to be part of a very important event for aviation.ón local, again an aerosolíEcuadorian line afterés of más of añor came backó to land in USA dentro de una operationóregular itinerary.
In this opportunity, with six weekly frequencies, Avianca Ecuador it was the airínea that aposó for the reactivationón of the industry toéevil is beginningó their flights to «the big apple».
Así It was the Avianca Ecuador flight to New York
Let's start by indicating that in the case of this flight something similar to what we experienced a few months ago occurs.ás with the Quito route – Cuenca, both are a new route for Avianca Holdings, since yesí operó previously, but everything was under the brand AeroGal.
Clarified this point, let's fly. In case you missed it, These are the times and frequencies with which this route will operateá:
No. flight | Route | Departure time | Check In | Frequency |
AV7392 | Guayaquil-New York | 16:45 | 23:05 | Monday, miércoles, Thursday, Friday, sábado and sunday |
AV7393 | New York-Guayaquil | 01:00 | 08:00 | Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, sábado and sunday |
Going back to the report, I tell you that this flight took placeó the 1 from December to 2021 how well it wasíhas announced, taking off from Jos Airporté Joaquín of Olmedo de Guayaquil at 16:45 in an Airbus A320.
With almost 3 hours in advanceón, I approachedé to the Avianca check-in counters in José Joaquín de Olmedo, this is important given the new travel requirements to the United States what represents más controls and therefore, más time.
This new route is the first of six other flights that the airlineínea plans to open until 2022, with destinations from Quito and Guayaquil to Cali, Averageín and Miami.
for this opportunity, the grandfatherón that I coveredó The flight was the Airbus A320 with matrícula N599AV, núMSN serial grouper 4599, with 10 añyou since your first flight, configured for 150 passengers (12 in business and 138 in Económica) and is powered by two CFM56-5B4 engines..
I now share the víofficial deo of this flight report:
Now let's talk about some additional recommendations, It's always good to save as much time as possible., más aún on an international flight where we don't want to lose our planeón, that's why to meás to arrive at the airport on time, check-in online or in the Avianca app will save usá an important time and above all, allow usá save our favorite seat.
In this first flight that begins the season más discharge from tripsñO, contó with close to 90 passengers who could be part of this important event and even a toast at thousands of meters above sea level.
How are weún in a pand worldémonkey, entertainment has been restricted to the use of the individual screens available for viewing.ínaughty, the magazine is notá available at this time.
Regarding food that several of you asked me, I tell you that it was made up of a chicken sandwich, a case of chips and non-alcoholic drinksóplease chooseón.
as it was done at night, no habían muchas más photos to take, but yesí I can tell you that, as always on this route, turbulence is felt in several stages., so always wear the beltósecurity number of important.
Finally, after 5 hours and 48 minutes of flight and having reached an altitude máxima de 37 thousand feet, we landed in new york, a destinyás that adds to the más de 100 weekly frequencies that Avianca currently operates in Ecuador.
La operationónot started, the airínea has been professionally prepared and técynically for the challengesíos to operate in one of the airports más important and demanding in the world. With the support of the holding and even with pilot training from other subsidiaries, the pilots Ecuadorians have learned and now put into practiceáapply the knowledge acquired to carry out an operationón efficient and safe in this destination that is approaching the winter season.
We wish ésuccess to Avianca Ecuador in this and prómaximum routes.
Good initiative, only that for the duration of the flight the service on board is somewhat austere, very common in our times. in my opinion, the product that JetBlue offers on the same route continues to be superior and with newer equipment (A321NEO). We'll see what happens. The ideal would be to enter this route with an A330, but Avianca already has them withdrawn.
Definitely, the Airbus A330 was an excellent option, the important thing is that now there is more offer and we users benefit.
Good review of the maiden voyage.
With this incursion by Avianca LATAM will "lose" this route ??
Will have to see, but I do see it difficult for Latam to return to the route in the short term.
You are part of the abuses by American of its passengers, mistreatment and refusal to carry more than one suitcase or pay because they fly the smallest plane that has the A319, which barely has autonomy for that flight and minimal holds is a bad service because It must be a bigger plane because those are only used in the USA and other countries, not Ecuador, which they despise
Do you know the range of an Airbus A319 and the distance or duration of a flight to Miami?? Please, if you are going to attack me, that at least be with foundations and tests. On the other hand, American opera con los Boeing 737 MAX a Ecuador, the A319 hasn't come for a while, so keep participating.
The cost of the ticket is convenient compared to Eastern and Latam?
It depends on the anticipation of purchase and date.
Avianca was not going to use the A319 or A320 neo for this route? What happened to the A319 that was already in Ecuador??
They will be programmed gradually as demand grows.
It's good that Avianca continues to expand, The truth is, from what I saw in the video and the post, the service looks very good and I really like the fact that the screens are kept on these planes and working, For me it is a good alternative to travel. Very good Trip Report I really like these post keep it up.
