LATAM Airlines announced on Tuesday the restart of its non-stop flights between Santiago de Chile and Melbourne, Australia, as of September 1, 2023. The service was suspended in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The route will initially have three weekly frequencies and will be operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft, with capacity for 300 passengers in Premium Business, Economy+ and Economy cabins.

We will maintain our commitment to offer more options to bring people closer to their destination with safety, punctuality and internationally recognized service,” said María Paz Villasante, Commercial Strategy Manager, LATAM Airlines Group.
