Incident: Iberia A346 near Guayaquil on Mar 18th 2020,
mayor orders runway incursion to prevent landing
An Iberia Airbus A340-600,
registration EC-KZI performing positioning flight IB-6453 from Madrid,SP (Spain) to Guayaquil (Ecuador)
with no passengers and 11 crew,
was enroute at FL410 about 230nm northeast of Guayaquil and about 90nm northeast of Quito (Ecuador)
when the crew was forced to divert to Quito
after the Mayoress of Guyaquil had ordered city vehicles to invade Guyaquil Aerodrome
and occupy the runway to prevent the landing of the Iberia
(as well as a later scheduled KLM) arrival.
The aircraft landed safely in Quito.
Later the same evening a KLM Boeing 777-200, registration PH-BQI,
was scheduled to perform flight KL-755 from Quito to Guayaquil and further on to Amsterdam (Netherlands),
however, needed to skip Guyaquil and operated directly from Quito to Amsterdam.
Ecuador's government had agreed to both re-patriation flights of Spanish and Dutch citizens.
The aircraft were set to arrive just with crew and no passengers and were to pick up their citizens.
