  1. I'm excited about this airline, another national airline was already needed to represent this country, the service seems excellent, the livery and the designs are very nice, best of luck to the airline and may it prosper and greatly expand its operations. nice video and report, I loved it.

  2. amazing report! When flight radar will increase Equ air flights in the airport tables? And it is true that Avianca will fly from San Jose to Quito?
