AeroGal Descends into Peruvian Market

Ecuadorian carrier Aerolíneas Galápagos (AeroGal) has introduced flights to Peru with new links to its capital Lima from Quito and Guayaquil. The airline launched the flights last week and now serves three international destinations adding to existing links to Bogota and Medellin in Colombia.

AeroGal is offering a three times weekly service from Guayaquil and eleven flights per week from Quito. It will face tough competition from TACA and LAN Airlines in both these markets. TACA offers ten and 13 weekly frequencies to Guayaquil and Quito, respectively, while LAN has seven and ten flights per week. An estimated 121,000 O&D passengers travelled to the Peruvian capital from Guayaquil in the past year with around 88,000 making the journey from Quito.
