LATAM expects to carry up to 20,000 passengers per year on its new operation between the two cities. The airline currently offers scheduled flights on the São Paulo-Santiago, Rio de Janeiro-Santiago, Belo Horizonte-Santiago, Curitiba-Santiago, Florianópolis-Santiago and Porto Alegre-Santiago routes.
“In addition to Santiago, passengers departing from Brasilia can now easily reach Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, as well as other destinations in Chile itself, such as Easter Island, Calama, Punta Arenas and Puerto Montt, facilitating tourism for Brazilians in our neighboring country and on the other side of the world,” commented Eduardo Macedo, LATAM Brazil’s Public Affairs Manager.
Brasilia Airport is LATAM’s second main hub, with direct flights to 33 domestic destinations and the Brasilia-Lima international route.
