Dear Nicholas, The formal process to obtain an operating permit in Ecuador must already be in the DGAC, I understand. What is the time that the DGAC normally takes to give authorization??. As for when it could already be operating in Ecuador if everything goes well?
Hello Ramiro, First, the operating permit must be obtained and that is given by the National Civil Aviation Council., that takes no more than 1 my, Next comes the certification process, that this is more on the side of the airline and can take 10 a 12 months quietly.
what good news, healthy competition and competitive prices allow the development of
the companies.
Exact, it's great news.
They should also start with international routes from Lima or Santiago. In this way they feed and connect national routes to other hubs..
Surely that will be the next phase of the airline.
Great news, I hope they fly to Santiago as another Latam option
Hopefully! For now, the fact that the domestic ones start is great news..
