A Plane Returns to Ecuador’s Equator International Airport as It Looks to Expand Destinations
Ecuadorian startup carrier Equair received its third aircraft, a Boeing 737-700NG, this weekend in order to expand their services. The company currently operates only domestic routes, but are looking at international routes soon.
Aircraft
On Sunday, Equair –the newest airline to launch operations in the South American country– announced the arrival of their newest aircraft. It’s a Boeing 737-700 Next Generation, registration HC-CXS and will be deployed on routes they currently offer. The plane will increase connectivity to these destinations in the Galápagos Islands by going to Airport Isla San Cristobal.
One of our most crucial and highly sought after features is how the app lets you create an alert for when the price drops. We love these kinds of features too, so it’s no wonder that we’re excited about this new job offer. On November 8-9, we will leave from Montpellier in France on route to Iceland via Keflavik International Airport in Iceland. Afterwards, we’ll head to Ecuador via Bermuda on November 13, looking forward to starting work soon!
Equair offers plans for a global audience
One of the three domestic airlines currently operating in Ecuador is the airline Equair. It operates 103 weekly flights from Quito to Guayaquil, and 42 from Quito to Guayaquil according to company data by Cirium.
While their only current route is between Quito and Guayaquil, Equair is looking to expand their operations and start serving other cities. And in an interview with local journalist Nicolás Larenas, Equair’s CEO said they will have six jets by 2019. They also plan on getting two additional planes and launching international routes.
Jacobsen, the founder of the soon-to-launch Equair from Startupbootcamp said, “We would target the neighboring countries first, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru.” Following that, she could see Alex to other regions in the Americas like Central America and the Caribbean.
The aircraft was made out of wood
In their new endeavor, Equair flew their newest aircraft, the 737-700NG registration HC-CXS, into Ecuador. For now they are in the middle of maintenance and will resume air travel as soon as possible in this great achievement.
A newly-delivered Dassault 340-800 NG is a 14.5-year-old aircraft that first flew in 2008. It’s currently owned by the leasing company MACQUARIE AIR FINANCE, and has a capacity for 148 passengers on one cabin flight.
Before operating with Equair, the plane flew with two other carriers: TUI (2008-2018) and Andes Airline (2007-2008).
After twelve years with the German company, a narrowbody aircraft went to the Middle East. Wings of Lebanon (WOL) flew the plane between 2018 and 2020. When the private airline ceased operations in August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it returned to the leasing company. It took almost two years for it to find a new home but now it can be found in South America.
