Latam airlines adopt low-cost ploys to stimulate the domestic flights market, becoming thus the first company in Ecuador to incorporate the reduced costs to the domestic service.
With the new fares, a Guayaquil – Quito round trip ticket will cost from $ 66.26 with allowing only s handbag and no seat selection, when in regular conditions fares can reach from $ 90 to even $240.
Executive Director of Latam Airlines Ecuador Manuel van Oordt said that they seek to encourage tourism. For example, discounts of up to 40% in the Quito-Guayaquil-Quito route. The new fares pay only for the services passengers use. Sometimes passengers just carry briefcases; Now they will not have to pay for a 23 kilos suitcase that is not carried.
For President of the National Federation of Provincial Chambers of Tourism Holbach Muñetón, the strategy will be a contribution to the tourism sector, whose GDP records 11 quarters with red figures. (I)
