Ecuador ambassador Pascual Del Cioppo has presented a proposal from the Government of Ecuador and especially President Guillermo Lasso inviting Qatar Airways to launch commercial flights to Ecuador, the embassy said. Qatar's national carrier has been urged to study the possibility of turning Ecuador into a hub for flights from the north of South America to the countries of the Middle East, it was explained in a statement. The ambassador met with Qatar Airways senior vice president Fathi Atti and chief commercial officer Thierry Antinori on Wednesday and exchanged necessary information to analyse the proposal, the statement added.
