Ecuatoriana Airlines is aiming to begin commercial operations by October, initially offering domestic services in Ecuador before expanding internationally.
Details of the startup’s planned strategy were announced by CEO Eduardo Delgado as part of a live YouTube broadcast to showcase the carrier’s new brand identity.
Delgado said Ecuatoriana is currently undergoing a process to obtain its air operator’s certificate, which he hopes will be in place by September.
Once the airline has been cleared to fly, its maiden route will connect Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) with Guayaquil (GYE) using De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. Flights could be up to 3X-daily.
