Talk about suspensionónumber of flights of an airlineínea is never pleasant, but it is part of the news life of the industry toérea and today we will talk about the particular case of Wingo, aerolínea that accompanies usñsince November 2016.
In this blog we focus on good news, But there are times when bad news for aviationóEcuadorian tooén take up space, even if we don't like them.
Wingo suspends flights to Guayaquil and Quito
Wingo landedó on Quito, which was precisely one of his first international destinations after his change of Aerorepública, the 22 November 2016 at that time with his fleet of airplanes Boeing 737-700.
with good núgroups and always varying their frequencies to Quito of between 3 until 5 weekly flights, less than three toñundress themés the airínew ampó his presence in Ecuador incorporating the Guayaquil to your route network, where I operatedó from the 3 of January of 2019 with up 4 weekly frequencies.
Now, in a new complex competitive environment, más the situation itselfón socio-económica that lives Ecuador, the airínea has made an important decisionón for its long-term sustainability and profitability, spaghettién echoing new competition that isá entering the sun marketéColombian stico.
This informationón has been confirmed víto one's own páWingo website, in which flights to Ecuador are on sale until these dates:
- Quito, úlast flight 7 april 2024.
- Guayaquil, úlast flight 7 april 2024.
At the moment I am paying attention to the official statement requested from the airline.ínea, which he told meó that they are working on changes to the itineraries of certain routes and that they will beá later shared.
The low offer, but there are options
In this way, the important market between Colombia and Ecuador It is formed as follows since June:
- Quito – Bogotaá: Avianca and LATAM
- Guayaquil – Bogotaá: Avianca
Let's wait for news in the future of the possible return of Wingo to our market in better conditions or the arrival of new competition on such an important route, that in the 2022 mobilizedó más de 714 thousand passengers.
It is a shame to lose the Wingo airline's routes to Ecuador, I use it every time I go to Colombia because they are polite and very friendly. I hope they reconsider this decision..
Let's hope so or they return later with better conditions.
