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.
