The company put the tickets for the new route on sale

Avianca will start competing on the Guayaquil-New York route as of December 1 as part of its international flight expansion plan.

The airline announced this Monday that it will operate that route with six weekly flights to strengthen international connectivity.

The company will have departures from Guayaquil, at 4:45 p.m., on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. While from the city of skyscrapers it will take off at 01:00, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

With this new route, Avianca is competing for the market with JetBlue and Eastern, which have direct flights to that city. Latam Ecuador has not yet reactivated that route.

Avianca will start with an introductory fare from $295 each way, including tax.

"Flying directly to the United States is something that Ecuadorian customers have been asking us for some time," said David Alemán, Avianca's general director for Central and South America.

The request for this new route to New York was already entered weeks ago before the Aviation Council of Ecuador. For this new service, Avianca Ecuador has informed the Council that it intends to use A318, A319, A320, A321 and A330 aircraft.

This is the first of seven new direct routes that Avianca will inaugurate in the coming months, from Ecuador. At the moment the airline has 23 weekly frequencies from Quito and Guayaquil to Bogotá and San Salvador.

María Beatriz González, commercial manager of Avianca in Ecuador, indicated that the sale of tickets is already available inAvianca.com, the MyAvianca application, points of sale nationwide and travel agencies.

Currently, Avianca operates 56 weekly flights between Quito, Guayaquil, Manta, San Cristóbal and Baltra with an OTP of 96%.

As of October 4, the Quito-Cuenca route will begin to operate with 6 weekly frequencies and will resume flights to El Coca as of January 3, 2022 with 5 weekly flights.
