LAN Ecuador has commenced services to the island of San Cristobal
in the Galapagos Islands.
The airline will operate two weekly
flights to this new destination from Quito/Guayaquil, using Airbus
A320 aircraft.
San Cristobal is the second destination served
by LAN Ecuador in the Galapagos Islands, and the fifth domestic
destination in Ecuador.
Since September, 2010, LAN Ecuador has been
flying daily to the island of Baltra. It also serves the cities of
Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca.
Maximiliano
Naranjo, General Manager of LAN Ecuador, said, “By opening this new route, the island of San
Cristobal will be connected not only to mainland Ecuador, but to
the world, through the different international destinations
reached by LAN Airlines and its affiliates’, as well as by other
airline members of the oneworld alliance.”
The modern Airbus A320 aircraft which LAN flies
to the Galapagos Islands deliver significant fuel efficiency,
reducing engine noise and CO2 emissions.
Approximate flight time from Guayaquil to San
Cristobal is two hours, and flights operate on Wednesdays and
Sundays.
From Australia and New Zealand, LAN Airlines
flies daily to the South American gateway city of Santiago, Chile,
with onward connections to destinations including Ecuador.
