The mayor of Quito, Santiago Guarderas, said that the new airline will provide greater connectivity. It is a decisive factor to reactivate the tourism sector, which was one of the most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The entry into operation of this flagship airline will contribute significantly to increase the number of visitors to the city of Quito, and thus reactivate a number of related businesses in which thousands of citizens have their source of employment and livelihood.
At the head of the airline, Gabriela Sommerfeld, said that a group of Ecuadorian businessmen joined forces to see the need in the country to strengthen connectivity and cities to reconnect the various cultures.
