The Government confirmed this Friday, November 19, 2021 that the presidential plane was transferred to the United States yesterday, Thursday, November 18, to comply with routine maintenance.
Days ago, photographs circulated on social networks with the route of the LEGACY plane that, according to what they say, departed from the Quito Airport to Orlando, Florida.
In the statement released by the General Secretariat of Communication of the Presidency, once the maintenance is finished, the aircraft will return to the country.
Last August, President Guillermo Lasso signed a decree with which he puts the presidential plane up for sale. The document includes a transitory provision, which establishes that while the sale is being carried out, its use will be restricted only for exceptional situations that will be qualified by the General Administrative Secretariat of the Presidency.
His predecessor, Lenín Moreno, had also announced the sale of the presidential plane, but so far no such announcement has been made.
