LATAM Airlines inaugurated this Sunday its seasonal flights between Florianópolis and Santiago de Chile, the fourth route connecting Brazil and Chile. The airline also operates flights to the Chilean capital from São Paulo-Guarulhos, Rio de Janeiro-Galeão and Curitiba.
The route will operate 5 weekly flights in Airbus A320 aircraft (with capacity for 8 passengers in Premium Economy class and 168 in Economy class).
For Aline Mafra, LATAM Brazil’s Sales and Marketing Director, the company’s strategy with its more efficient operations is to reduce the distance between the main domestic and foreign destinations. “We are growing in a sustainable way in the creation of connectivity options, agility and comfort, between destinations that have demand from our customers.”
