<p><strong>LATAM Airlines</strong> ampliará su conectividad entre <strong>Sudamérica y Oceanía</strong> al incrementar la frecuencia de sus rutas entre <strong>Santiago de Chile y Australia</strong>. A partir de noviembre, la compañía pasará de operar tres a siete vuelos semanales hacia <strong>Sídney</strong>, y desde diciembre hará lo propio con <strong>Melbourne</strong>, alcanzando un vuelo diario en ambas rutas.</p><p>Según detalla el grupo aéreo, el aumento de vuelos estará vigente hasta marzo de 2026 y permitirá movilizar hasta <strong>150.000 pasajeros</strong> durante el período. Las operaciones serán realizadas con aeronaves <strong>Boeing 787-8 y 787-9</strong>, configuradas con hasta 300 asientos, incluyendo <strong>30 en premium business y 270 en clase económica</strong>.</p><p>En el caso de Sídney, LATAM estima transportar alrededor de <strong>4.100 pasajeros semanales</strong>, cubriendo la distancia entre ambos continentes en menos de 15 horas.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://aviacionlinecdn.eleco.com.ar/media/2025/06/horarios_de_vuelo_de_latam_a_australia.jpg" alt="Horarios de vuelo de LATAM a Australia"><figcaption>Horarios de vuelo de LATAM a Australia</figcaption></figure><p>“Los vuelos diarios entre Chile y Australia permitirán movilizar unos 150.000 pasajeros en el período, permitiendo conectar ambos continentes de forma rápida y segura”, afirmó <strong>María Paz Villasante</strong>, Gerente de Estrategia Comercial del grupo.</p><p>La ruta a <strong>Melbourne</strong>, que también alcanzará siete frecuencias semanales desde diciembre, se mantiene como un servicio directo, algo que el grupo destaca como un hito en la aviación regional.</p><p>Estas modificaciones también afectarán la ruta a Auckland, ciudad que pasará a ser servida de seis a cuatro veces por semana, dado que hoy dos vuelos continúan hasta Sydney, marcando así el fin de la presencia de LATAM en el icónico mercado que une ambas costas del mar de Tasmania.</p><p>Tras la salida de Aerolíneas Argentinas y Air New Zealand (la primera en 2014 y la otra en 2020), LATAM pasó a dominar la conectividad Sudamérica-Oceanía. Enfrente solo tiene a Qantas, que hoy vuela cuatro veces por semana entre Sydney y Santiago (pasando a diario para el invierno austral).</p><h2><strong>Crecimiento general</strong></h2><p>Por otra parte, LATAM informó que en mayo de 2025 su <strong>capacidad consolidada</strong> —medida en asientos-kilómetros disponibles (ASK)— creció un <strong>7,2%</strong> respecto al mismo mes de 2024. Este aumento estuvo impulsado principalmente por un alza del <strong>13% en la oferta doméstica en Brasil</strong>. En tanto, el <strong>tráfico de pasajeros</strong> subió un <strong>9,6%</strong>, con un <strong>factor de ocupación del 83,1%</strong>, lo que representa una mejora de 1,8 puntos porcentuales en comparación interanual.</p><p>Actualmente, LATAM opera vuelos a <strong>153 destinos en 27 países</strong>, distribuidos en América, Europa, África y Oceanía.</p>

The event was presided over by the Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Army, General Javier Iturriaga del Campo, and marked the end of a week-long deployment involving personnel from six countries.</p><p>The exercise, conducted between June 1 and 8, brought together military contingents from <strong>Argentina, Colombia, Spain, the United States, Paraguay, and Chile</strong>, mobilizing more than <strong>2,700 troops</strong> across various regions of Chile. The training simulated a <strong>United Nations-mandated stabilization mission</strong>, with operations focused on <strong>civilian protection, human rights enforcement, and public order restoration</strong>. Activities included <strong>amphibious navigation, maritime control, and air dominance exercises</strong> throughout Chile, from the Tarapacá Region to the southernmost areas of the country.</p><p>During the closing ceremony, several participants were recognized for outstanding performance. The <strong>Chilean Air Force (FACh)</strong> received specific mention, with three military aviators honored for their contribution to the operation. The air component was led by General of Aviation Máximo Venegas Raggio, head of the Air Combat Command and the exercise’s Air Component Commander. Awards were presented by Rear Admiral Mark Schafer, Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command South (SOCSOUTH).</p><p>In a symbolic gesture of appreciation, the most senior officer and non-commissioned officer from each participating delegation were also recognized by General Iturriaga.</p><p>Major General Rodrigo Marchessi Acuña, Commander of Army Special Operations, addressed the ceremony and emphasized the importance of joint and combined training. He highlighted that this year’s edition welcomed observers from <strong>ten additional countries</strong>, underlining the strategic value of international defense cooperation.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKsVCvqzTFm/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;

<p>LATAM Group received two <strong>Airbus A320neo</strong> aircraft on Saturday, June 7, which will join the fleets of its subsidiaries in <strong>Chile and Brazil</strong>. The additions reflect different acquisition models—one sourced directly from Airbus and the other from the secondary market—as part of the group’s strategy to navigate delays in the global production chain.</p><p>The aircraft destined for <strong>LATAM Chile</strong>, registered <strong>CC-BHJ</strong>, is a <strong>brand-new unit</strong> delivered from Airbus facilities in Toulouse, France. The aircraft made a technical stop for refueling at <strong>Fortaleza Airport (FOR)</strong> on Saturday afternoon before continuing to its final destination in <strong>Santiago de Chile (SCL)</strong>, where it arrived on <strong>Sunday, June 9</strong>.</p><p>Originally, this aircraft was slated to operate for the Brazilian affiliate under the registration <strong>PR-XBY</strong>, but a <strong>strategic reassignment</strong> led to it being based in Chile.</p><p>Meanwhile, the <strong>Brazilian subsidiary</strong> strengthened its fleet with another <strong>A320neo</strong>, acquired through a different route. The aircraft, now registered <strong>PS-LHA</strong>, also stopped in Fortaleza, but originated from <strong>Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW)</strong> in <strong>Istanbul, Turkey</strong>.</p><p>This A320neo was <strong>manufactured in 2019</strong> and previously flew for Indian carrier <strong>IndiGo</strong> under the registration <strong>VT-IZO</strong> until the end of 2024. It spent several months in Turkey undergoing <strong>a full cabin reconfiguration and repainting in LATAM livery</strong>.</p><p>The acquisition of <strong>PS-LHA</strong> highlights LATAM’s <strong>tactical use of lessors</strong> to incorporate <strong>lightly used aircraft</strong>, a strategy that accelerates fleet modernization and expansion. This approach allows greater flexibility and reduces dependency on manufacturer delivery schedules, which are currently facing <strong>global delays</strong>.</p><p>According to LATAM's partner outlet <strong>Aeroin</strong>, the PS-LHA’s journey included stopovers at <strong>Sal Island (SID)</strong> in <strong>Cape Verde</strong> and in <strong>Fortaleza (FOR)</strong> before arriving on Saturday afternoon at <strong>São Carlos Airport (QSC)</strong> in <strong>São Paulo state</strong>. QSC is home to LATAM’s <strong>Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) center</strong>, where the aircraft will undergo final preparations and receive local regulatory certifications before entering <strong>commercial service on domestic routes in Brazil</strong>.</p>

Al momento el vuelo figura retrasado, con su salida para las 19:20.</p><p>Desde LATAM Airlines emitieron un comunicado posteriormente confirmando que el vuelo “tuvo que ser cancelado debido a que durante el inicio del proceso de despegue presentó un evento técnico”.</p><p>“Se aplicaron todos los protocolos de seguridad correspondientes y el avión retornó a la puerta y se realizó el desembarque de todos sus pasajeros”, continúa el texto.</p><p>“LATAM Airlines Paraguay lamenta los inconvenientes que esta situación pudiera generar en el itinerario de sus pasajeros e informa que ya fueron reubicados en otro vuelo, programado para el día de hoy”, concluyó.</p>

<p>Chile's Ministry of Public Works (MOP) has unveiled an ambitious infrastructure plan to expand <strong>Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL)</strong> in Santiago. The project, part of a newly updated master plan, involves a <strong>$4 billion investment</strong> between <strong>2035 and 2050</strong>, aiming to triple the airport's passenger capacity and increase operational efficiency.</p><p>Presented by Public Works Minister <strong>Jessica López</strong>, the initiative includes the construction of a <strong>third runway</strong>, a <strong>third passenger terminal</strong>, expanded <strong>cargo facilities</strong>, <strong>three new access roads</strong>, and a <strong>light rail system</strong> to connect the airport internally and link it to the <strong>Santiago Metro</strong> network.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://aviacionlinecdn.eleco.com.ar/media/2025/06/ministra_jessica_lopez.jpg" alt="Ministra Jessica López"><figcaption>Ph: MOP Chile</figcaption></figure><p>According to projections, these upgrades will allow the airport to handle <strong>up to 84 million passengers per year</strong> and support <strong>125 aircraft operations per hour</strong>, tripling current capacity levels.</p><h3><strong>Territorial expansion and multimodal connectivity</strong></h3><p>The master plan outlines the expansion of the airport’s footprint from <strong>1,070 to 2,368 hectares</strong>, mostly extending northwest into the <strong>Pudahuel</strong> district and, to a lesser extent, <strong>Lampa</strong>. The built area is expected to grow from <strong>380,000 m² to over one million</strong>, while aircraft parking positions will increase from 56 to <strong>152</strong>.</p><p>The cargo terminal will be relocated to make space for additional passenger boarding piers, while new facilities for aircraft maintenance and the <strong>Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC)</strong> will be built west of the future runway. General aviation operations will move to the east of the existing runway system.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center"><img src="https://aviacionlinecdn.eleco.com.ar/media/2025/06/mapa_ampliacion_scl.jpeg" alt="Mapa Ampliacion SCL"><figcaption>MOP Chile</figcaption></figure><p>Connectivity improvements include <strong>three new access roads</strong>—from El Noviciado (west), Lo Boza (north), and a dedicated truck route from the south.

<script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script></div><p>MOP officials emphasized that, given sustained air traffic growth—averaging 10% annually since 2010—<strong>expanding the current airport is more efficient than building a second facility</strong>. The project seeks to address long-term demand while optimizing operational, financial, and social returns.</p>

Chile unveils $4 billion expansion plan for Santiago Airport to triple capacity by 2050

<p>During his 2025 State of the Nation Address, his last as President, Chilean President Gabriel Boric <strong>confirmed the future construction of a Metro line that will directly connect to Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport</strong>. This will be a new underground extension, known as Line 7A, departing from the future Huelén station, part of Line 7 currently under construction, located in the Cerro Navia district.</p><blockquote><p>"I am proud to announce the future arrival of the Metro at Santiago Airport from the Huelén station on Line 7. In just 7 minutes, people will be able to travel underground from Cerro Navia to the terminal," stated the President during his speech.</p></blockquote><p>The project will be fully underground, placing Santiago among global capitals with direct rail links to their main airports. <strong>Chile will become the first country in South America with a direct connection between its Metro network and its main international airport</strong>.</p><p>Until now, various alternatives had been considered, such as a possible extension from Pajaritos station on Line 1 or the development of a light rail system. The presidential announcement settles the debate with a structural solution integrated into the Metro network.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKZ-tZIObVS/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;

United Airlines cambia de avión y aumenta la capacidad de sus vuelos a Chile

<p><strong>LATAM Airlines Group has added two Airbus A330 aircraft operated by Spain’s Wamos Air under a wet lease agreement</strong>, as part of a strategy to <strong>maintain its long-haul network amid a global shortage of new aircraft</strong>. This shortage is largely due to <strong>delivery delays from major manufacturers and ongoing cabin reconfigurations on LATAM’s Boeing 787-8s</strong>.</p><p><strong>The move allows the airline to keep key routes operational from Santiago to Lima, Bogotá, Mexico City, and Los Angeles</strong>, without canceling flights or reducing connectivity. Notably, <strong>the Mexico City route has been exclusively operated by one of Wamos’s A330s throughout the current month</strong>.</p><h3><strong>Tactical move in a complex global context</strong></h3><p>According to a recent report by <i>Diario Financiero</i>, <strong>wet leasing has become increasingly common in the airline industry</strong> in response to aircraft availability challenges. Factors such as <strong>post-pandemic demand surges, industrial supply chain bottlenecks, and new regulatory hurdles in the U.S. and Europe</strong> have significantly impacted both Airbus and Boeing.</p><p>LATAM notes that <strong>the agreement with Wamos is temporary</strong> and is one of several steps taken to <strong>ensure operational continuity</strong> while awaiting delivery of <strong>99 new aircraft</strong> from Airbus and Boeing, scheduled to arrive in stages through 2030. This order includes <strong>84 Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft</strong>, and <strong>15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners</strong>, with a combined list price value exceeding <strong>USD 19.9 billion</strong>.</p><p><strong>LATAM’s current fleet includes 352 aircraft</strong>: 274 Airbus narrowbodies, 56 Boeing widebodies, and 20 Boeing freighters, plus the <strong>two A330s leased from Wamos</strong>.</p><section class="noteSuggested" data-id="31967" data-title="You might be interested"></section><h3><strong>Operational visibility and passenger experience</strong></h3><p>While the A330s operate flights marketed by LATAM, <strong>passengers can easily identify them as operated by a third-party</strong>. Wamos crews wear their own uniforms and aircraft retain the <strong>Wamos livery</strong>, although LATAM provides <strong>onboard catering, entertainment, and customer service</strong>.</p><p>Some passengers have noted <strong>differences in cabin layout</strong>, such as tighter seat spacing or older entertainment systems. LATAM states it has undertaken <strong>cabin retrofitting to standardize the experience</strong>, including <strong>touchscreen displays with Disney, Max, and Paramount content</strong>, and <strong>USB ports</strong> at every seat.</p><h3><strong>A seasoned international partner</strong></h3><p><strong>Wamos Air</strong>, formerly Pullmantur Air, is based in Spain and <strong>specializes in ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) leasing with a widebody fleet</strong>. The carrier has supported airlines like <strong>Air France, Iberia, Avianca, and Air Senegal</strong>, and claims the capability to deploy globally <strong>within three hours</strong>. It operates in <strong>over 200 airports across 87 countries</strong>.</p><p>LATAM has previously worked with Wamos during peak demand periods or operational disruptions. According to <strong>Sebastián Acuto, Director of Fleet and Projects at LATAM Airlines Group</strong>, Wamos is a <strong>trusted partner</strong> with a strong track record for <strong>punctuality and service continuity</strong>.</p><h3><strong>LATAM Airlines: fleet growth and future challenges</strong></h3><p>Since January 2023, LATAM has received <strong>30 new aircraft</strong>, boosting its operational capacity by 12%. All additions are <strong>Airbus NEO family or Boeing 787 Dreamliners</strong>, in line with the group’s focus on <strong>efficiency and sustainability</strong>.</p><p>Still, LATAM faces the same industry-wide issue: <strong>manufacturer delays</strong>. According to <strong>IATA Director General Willie Walsh</strong>, the situation has reached a critical stage, and while it’s not expected to worsen, there are <strong>no signs of immediate improvement</strong>.</p><p>Given this outlook, <strong>wet lease agreements like the one with Wamos have become essential tools</strong> for safeguarding LATAM’s route network and growth trajectory, <strong>without compromising passenger service or regional connectivity</strong>.</p>

From LATAM Airlines to Wamos Air: Key Differences and What’s Next in Their Growing Partnership

<p>A recent <strong>currency exchange incident at Santiago’s Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport</strong> has triggered backlash from business associations and travelers, after it was revealed that a tourist received <strong>only 64,000 Chilean pesos for US$100</strong>—a <strong>rate of $640 per dollar</strong>, significantly below the official market rate of around <strong>$940</strong>.</p><p>The case was made public by <strong>Juan Pablo Swett</strong>, president of the <strong>National Multi-Guild of Entrepreneurs</strong>, who shared the receipt and transaction details involving a <strong>Chinese national</strong>. The exchange was carried out by <strong>Grupo Global Exchange</strong>, a currency exchange service operating within Chile’s main airport. The <strong>exchange rate applied reflected a discrepancy of over 30%</strong> compared to the observed dollar rate, which closed on <strong>Monday, May 12, at $939.26</strong>.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="es" dir="ltr">"Bienvenidos a Chile, dólar a 640 pesos" - ¿Qué imagen país estamos dando a nuestros turistas y personas que negocios al llegar a Chile? <br><br>Sábado 10 de mayo, 9:00 am, una ciudadana china cambió USD 100 con la empresa Grupo Global Exchange en el aeropuerto; le dieron $64.000… <a href="https://t.co/fwd1Y7u6sl">pic.twitter.com/fwd1Y7u6sl</a></p>— Juan Pablo Swett (@juanpabloswett) <a href="https://twitter.com/juanpabloswett/status/1922640468896002123?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><p>The transaction also included a <strong>4,000-peso commission</strong>, though the company later <strong>reversed the operation and refunded the original US$100</strong> following a complaint. Still, the Multigremial warned that such practices can <strong>harm the country's image</strong> and appear to <strong>exploit the lack of information among foreign visitors</strong> arriving at the airport.</p><p>Reported by <strong>Emol.com</strong>, the incident has reignited debate over the need for <strong>greater oversight and regulation of currency exchange services in airports</strong>, where offered rates often deviate significantly from official market values.</p><p><strong>Arturo Merino Benítez Airport</strong>, Chile’s primary international gateway, welcomes <strong>tens of thousands of passengers weekly during peak seasons</strong>. Unfavorable exchange rates and opaque fees can <strong>negatively impact tourist experiences</strong> and <strong>undermine the country’s reputation</strong> as a travel destination.</p><p>There are now calls for the <strong>Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC)</strong> or the <strong>Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications</strong> to step in and <strong>review the contracts and operating conditions of exchange services at the airport</strong>.</p><p>Swett concluded his statement by emphasizing that although the transaction was reversed, the mere fact that such incidents occur at the country’s main airport <strong>“damages Chile’s reputation among first-time visitors.”</strong></p><section class="noteSuggested" data-id="38982" data-title="Puede interesarte"></section>

Currency Exchange Controversy at Santiago Airport Sparks Criticism Over Exploitative Rates

<p>The <strong>Government of Chile</strong>, through the <strong>Ministry of Public Works (MOP)</strong> and <strong>Metro de Santiago</strong>, is advancing studies for the development of a <strong>light rail connection between the future Huelén station on Metro Line 7 and Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport</strong>, located in the Pudahuel district.</p><p>According to Chilean media, the project could be <strong>officially announced during the President’s Annual Address on June 1</strong>, and is seen as a <strong>more cost-effective and timely alternative</strong> to previous proposals for extending the metro network to the airport.</p><p><strong>Huelén station</strong>, currently under construction, will be one terminus of <strong>Line 7</strong>, which will link the districts of Renca and Vitacura, running through western and northern Santiago. In this context, the proposed <strong>light rail aims to provide a fast, intermodal, and direct link</strong> between the metro system and the country’s main airport—<strong>without requiring underground extensions</strong> or reliance on the <strong>current bus service connecting the airport to Pajaritos station</strong>.</p><p>The planned route would span approximately <strong>6.5 to 7 kilometers</strong> from Huelén to the airport. According to sources close to the project, the estimated investment is <strong>around USD 300 million</strong>—a figure significantly lower than that of a standard metro extension, which can cost up to <strong>USD 100 million per kilometer</strong>.</p><p>Unlike the metro, which is integrated into <strong>Santiago’s public transport fare system</strong>, the <strong>light rail would use a differentiated fare model</strong>, targeting primarily airport passengers. The estimated <strong>ticket price is around CLP 2,000</strong>, in line with rapid airport rail links in major global cities.</p><p><strong>French company Engie</strong> has expressed interest in participating in the project, submitting a proposal to the government based on its experience operating similar systems in <strong>Europe and Asia</strong>. While it remains undecided whether the project will be <strong>tendered or publicly executed</strong>, <strong>private sector involvement is expected to be key</strong> to its technical and financial viability.</p><p>The light rail initiative is part of a broader urban mobility strategy under the <strong>Santiago 2025 Master Transportation Plan</strong>, which includes new metro lines, electric bus corridors, cycling infrastructure, and other sustainable transport solutions. <strong>Improving access to the airport is a top priority</strong>, due to rising passenger demand and the need to <strong>ease vehicular congestion</strong>.</p><p>Currently, <strong>Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez Airport handles over 25 million passengers annually</strong>, and improving its ground connectivity has become a critical issue. While the <strong>airport’s road access and terminal expansion</strong> have been upgraded, authorities still seek a <strong>reliable, high-capacity transport solution</strong> with predictable travel times.</p><p>The Chilean government hopes to launch a <strong>detailed technical development phase</strong> after the public announcement, including <strong>engineering studies, environmental assessments</strong>, and a finalized <strong>management model</strong>. If the project moves forward as planned, the light rail link to the airport could be operational <strong>before the end of the decade</strong>, marking a major milestone in the <strong>evolution of Santiago’s urban transport system</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Chilean company Transvip has reaffirmed its role as an official ground transportation operator at Santiago’s Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (AMB),</strong> following the recent entry of ride-hailing platform Cabify.

With over two decades of experience, the company has transported millions of passengers to and from the airport, positioning itself as a key player in the ground connectivity ecosystem.</p><p><strong>In line with its growth strategy, Transvip announced a US$1 million investment to add 30 new minibuses over the next three months,</strong> along with technological upgrades aimed at enhancing service traceability and real-time operational management. <strong>“</strong><i>Our commitment is to continue modernizing the passenger experience and strengthening internal processes with digital solutions</i><strong>,”</strong> the company added.</p><p><strong>On the legal front, Transvip confirmed it's pursuing a lawsuit in Santiago’s 25th Civil Court,</strong> initiated after it detected alleged irregularities in the process that led to Cabify’s incorporation as a new operator. Filed in 2024, the case has passed the evidence phase and is now awaiting a ruling, which could come in the days ahead.</p><p><strong>Transvip also noted that the airport has expanded space availability for more operators,</strong> but reiterated that no exclusivity has been granted to any new entrants, referencing WeTransport, which began operations in 2023, as an earlier example.</p><blockquote><p><strong>“</strong><i>Opening the market to new competitors doesn’t push us out. We’re still here, investing, adapting, and innovating to offer users an efficient, reliable, and high-quality service</i><strong>,”</strong> the company concluded.</p></blockquote><p><strong>Transvip believes that its experience, infrastructure, and operational scale solidify its leadership at Chile’s main airport</strong> and aims to reinforce its position as a national benchmark in ground transportation.</p><p><strong>Cabify’s entry into the airport market, combined with the impending approval of the 'Uber Law' regulating ride-hailing in Chile, has raised concerns among companies like Transvip.</strong> Still, more and more passengers are opting for unregulated transport services due to their speed, perceived reliability, and especially as a way to avoid scams that remain common at the country’s primary airport.</p>

Transvip denies Cabify exclusivity and confirms continued presence at Santiago Airport

<p><strong>The Nuevo Pudahuel concessionaire has announced the opening of 41 new commercial spaces at Santiago’s Arturo Merino Benítez Airport,</strong> as part of its ongoing expansion and modernization of airport infrastructure. The works involve an investment of $11 million and cover more than 4,900 square meters, aimed at diversifying service offerings in both the Domestic Terminal (T1) and the International Terminal (T2).</p><p><strong>Of the total number of stores, 25 will focus on retail, while 16 will be dedicated to food and beverage,</strong> including coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. The lineup includes both national and international brands such as Starbucks, Dunkin’, Bonafide, Fuente Las Cabras, Natura, Doite, Sunglass Hut, Miniso, Victoria’s Secret, Blush&amp;Bar, Krossbar, Bar La Virgen, Natoo, and Bath &amp; Body Works, among others.</p><p><strong>This expansion is part of a broader commercial renewal process launched in 2024,</strong> a year that saw the opening of 30 new stores. With this latest phase, the airport has now accumulated $30 million in commercial development investments.</p><p><strong>Beyond new stores, the airport’s master plan includes strategic projects</strong> such as an intermodal station, a new international terminal, buildings for public services including police (Carabineros), SAG, and Customs, as well as the expansion of the aircraft apron—preparing the airport for sustained passenger traffic growth.</p><p><strong>Nuevo Pudahuel emphasized that the goal is to improve user experience,</strong> reducing wait times through better services and strengthening Santiago’s role as a regional hub. The expansion is also expected to have a positive economic impact by creating jobs and supporting local suppliers in the retail and food sectors.</p><p><strong>This new commercial phase comes amid a steady recovery in passenger flow following the pandemic,</strong> marking another milestone in the transformation of Chile’s main airport in terms of infrastructure, connectivity, and service quality.</p>
