Briefing

What we plan around at GYE.

Local constraints we build into every delivery window: curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.

01

The Galápagos gateway.

Island-bound aircraft make a ~2-hour fumigation stop here with luggage biosecurity screening. This is where island-bound catering gets loaded. It must survive the stop and the crossing.

02

Business-aviation hub.

The charter fleet's home base. Standing corporate accounts.

03

Sea-level ops.

No hot-and-high constraint, the practical heavy-tail entry to Ecuador.

04

Heat & humidity.

Coastal tropics. Careful cold-chain.

05

Confirm handler.

Delivery starts with the tail's FBO.
