Hello,
Does anyone have any strong opinions regarding the two airlines that fly from Quito, Ecuador to the Galapagos ?
There are apparently only two: TAME and Aero Gal.
e.g., which do you think is "best," safest, etc. ? Why ?
Really appreciate it; thank you very much,
Bob

I've had good luck with both. They're comparable.
AeroGal is the smaller but safer provider.TAME has been involved in a number of tragic accidents, incidents and crashes. The current fleet renewal intends to elevate the safety record and lower the average age of the fleet, partly in order to gain permission to operate flights to the USA...
It depends on if you are taking a cruise or not. If you are taking a cruise then you want whichever one everyone else on your boat is taking. The boats have assigned spaces on the flights. Other than that they are very similar in service and safety
