Ecuador's liberalisation measure set to benefit operators and consumers alike

Premium Insight

Ecuador's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) recently adopted mutual recognition of air operators certificates (AOCs) for airlines from Andean countries whose regulatory frameworks comply with ICAO standards, namely Ecuador, Peru and Colombia.

In the words of Ecuador's Minister of Tourism Mateo Estrella, the initiative "would allow any airline holding an AOC in one Andean country to operate domestically in another".
