PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Domestic recovery, international expansion and infrastructure investments will fuel future growth
The airline industry in Ecuador is projected to see a rise in retail value sales (at constant 2025 prices) over the forecast period, driven by both domestic travel recovery and significant growth both in outbound and inbound tourism. Despite potential challenges stemming from new US immigration policies under the Trump administration, the outlook is optimistic for US routes, with airlines like JetBlue, American Airlines, and United Airlines reinstating or expanding flights.
Strengthening regional links will boost airline sales
Ecuador’s international air connectivity has seen several recent improvements that are expected to positively impact airline retail value sales. One key development occurred in early 2025, when the Argentine government authorised Avianca Ecuador to operate new international routes linking Quito and Guayaquil with major Argentine cities - including Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, and Rosario - via Bogotá and Medellín.

Airlines
Airlines covers sales made to country residents (outbound and domestic tourists) and excludes sales to incoming tourists. Please note that airlines sales made to country residents when they are travelling abroad or through foreign websites or apps are also included and will be considered under the country of residence. The total amount paid for a flight after taxes and other charges is included. The return flight leg is included as well as the total amount paid for a flight ticket. Value sales exclude all forms of transit. Euromonitor International considers airline capacity and passengers carried in terms of enplanement based on scheduled flights. A passenger whose flight stops mid-route to pick up more passengers but continues with the same aircraft/flight number would be counted as one enplanement. A passenger who switches flights to another airline or aircraft with a new flight number mid-journey would be considered as two enplanements. Enplanements are not the same as number of seats sold or seat bookings, as the latter both include all bookings and do not exclude no-shows and cancellations. Direct transit passengers are excluded, eg those who continue on the same flight. Other transit passengers are included where passengers change plane with a new flight number. Air passengers carried relate directly to air value sales, where domestic and outbound travellers are only included. As such value and volume data in both sizes and shares is aligned and exclude the inbound component.
