GOL to Start Sao Paulo-Quito Service in December

Brazilian airline Gol will launch a new direct route between São Paulo and Quito, with three weekly flights taking off from December.

The announcement is the result of several months of discussions and planning involving the airline, the Ecuadorian government, the municipality of Quito and Corporación Quiport as concessionaire of Mariscal Sucre Airport.

The airline will operate the new route on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays using new generation aircraft Boeing 737 Max 8.

For the minister of tourism of Ecuador, Enrique Ponce De León, the arrival of this important airline to Ecuador means connecting two countries that have much to share in tourism.

The talks between GOL and Quiport made a decisive breakthrough during Routes Americas 2018, the largest continental-scale route development event that took place in Quito last February.
