I keep hearing the Quito flying is going to the 737-700. Why would Delta replace a much larger plane like the 757 on such a long route? Are they increasing frequency?
Its a matter of performance. The -700 has much better hot and high altitude airport performance than the 757. With the 757 we have depart with less gas and make a stop at Guayaquil to fuel up.
Here is an video in regarding with Quito

wikipedia.org said:The elevation of the city's central square (Plaza de La Independencia or Plaza Grande[4]) is 2,850 m (about 9,350 ft), making Quito the second highest capital city in the world.
Do you guys wear the masks for approach?
