DL Avoiding Ecuador?
I have noticed that DL 151 has taken a non-direct route from ATL-LIM lately. Entering Colombian airspace it turns due east almost to Brazil, then turns southwest to LIM. Seems to avoid Ecuadorian airspace. Why? I don't see that there has been significant volcanic activity since March in Ecuador. Is Ecuador playing games?
