Before the pandemic, LATAM operated two flights to Australia and one to New Zealand, which was the only connection to Oceania made by a Latin American company.
However, during the Covid-19 crisis these routes were cancelled, and only returned in March of this year. Although now the route was unified and connects Santiago de Chile – Auckland – Sydney – Auckland – Santiago, LATAM’s longest route at present.
Now, according to data from the company’s booking system and as reported by our partner Aeroin, this frequency that operates five times a week will operate with six flights on October 1 and will have daily flights from December 5.
The route will remain the same, operated by the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, but it is worth remembering that on October 31, Qantas will return with direct flights Sydney – Santiago, also operated by the 787-9.
