LATAM Launches Direct Quito-Miami Flights

LATAM Airlines Ecuador made the announcement the previous week that it would resume service on the route that connects Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in Ecuador and Miami International Airport (MIA). The 30th of October will mark the beginning of operations for the route, which will have daily flights between the two cities.

The flights will be operated by an Airbus 320 aircraft, which has a capacity for 168 people. The outbound flight will leave Quito at 8:30 a.m. local time and arrive in Miami at 12:30 p.m.; the return flight will leave Miami at 2:35 p.m. Eastern Time and arrive in Quito at 6:55 p.m. local time.

According to Mónica Fistrovic, the executive director of LATAM in Ecuador, this route “increases the chances of achieving a positive and speedier economic reactivation and improves tourism to Quito.”

LATAM Airlines Ecuador expands its service to include a total of four international connections with the addition of this route. The airline previously flies to Bogotá, Lima, and Santiago de Chile. People will be able to take advantage of the fact that it may be possible for them to go to other foreign locations from these cities.

This direct flight to Miami signifies another step in the reactivation of the tourist business and the return of U.S. passengers, which is the most significant source of visitors to the city. This information comes from the Quito Tourism Board.

The direct trip to Miami will be an extra alternative for passengers taking the flight offered by American Airlines, which is the other airline that flies this route. In addition, Jet Blue offers a direct flight to Miami that passes via Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL). Atlanta is the only other city in the United States except Quito that is serviced by direct flights from the Ecuadorian capital.
