This work is handled directly by our technical department, which is entitled to visit the plantations, to check it for the presence of infection, and to program, if necessary, the fumigation cycle. We also count on all aerial support systems being provided by our technical team certified by the Ecuador 's Civil Aviation Directory.
Our aerial fleet is shared between two different terminals fully equipped by all necessary maintenance facilities. In the nearest future we are organizing the new third aerial terminal based on the landing strip of a new plantation we have recently acquired.
