That's right Nicholas, let's hope so.
Air Europa already operates the B787-8/9, now if demand increases in summer KLM always operates the imposing B777-200/300. Nevertheless, the B777-200ER already have more than 14 years of age and consume almost a 25% more kerosene than the B787-10, that's why they are the perfect replacement.
Precisely, is the official replacement.
It would also be nice if they fly in CD9 , they are very good planes , I got on one of those in the 87 , spectacular
Good Morning
It would be nice to see the 777-X operating this route
For that it will be necessary to wait at least a few 5 years.
Hi Nicolas,
Thank you very much for the report 👌🏻 excellent!
We hope that KLM continues to serve Ecuador with state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly aircraft such as the B787s and this time the variant 9. My greatest wish is that the B777-300ER and the B787-10 continue to operate., the latter with 344 seating, compared to the B777-200ER with 316 seating.
Kind regards.
I believe that in a short time we could see the -10 doing some flight in Ecuador to see how it goes.
