TAME Ecuador (Quito International) is looking to launch its first flights to Europe during 2014. Speaking to Ecuador's El Telégrafo, TAME operations manager Patricio Banderas said studies had already been completed with Madrid Barajas and Barcelona El Prat currently under consideration. When asked whether the airline's sole A330-200 would be adequate to service the route, Mr Banderas said while the A330 had proven itself on flights to New York JFK, another aircraft would have to be used. Flights to Los Angeles International are also in the pipeline, Mr Banderas noted. Founded in 1962, the Ecuadorian carrier currently operates a fleet of A319-100s, A320-200s, E170s, E190s and ATR42-500s on flights throughout Ecuador, as well as South and Central America. A 6x weekly service from Guayaquil to New York launched on November 22, 2013.
