Ecuadorian carrier SAETA and domestic subsidiary SAN have ceased operations, reports Reed Aerospace on-line service Air Transport Intelligence. SAETA had returned a leased Airbus A320 used for flights to Miami as it sought to restructure, but failed to get US Federal Aviation Administration approval to resume service with a Boeing 737-300. Operations were restricted to services within Latin America using Boeing 727s, but these have also stopped, with Ecuador's main domestic carrier TAME, an air force division, stepping up capacity on key routes.
