This strategic operation aims to optimize travel times and stimulate both tourism and business exchange within South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline will offer four weekly flights, providing an annual capacity of approximately 35,000 seats. To service this route, the company will deploy aircraft from the Airbus A320neo family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/03\/latam-airlines-becomes-the-only-4-star-skytrax-carrier-in-latin-america.html\">LATAM Airlines Becomes Only 4-Star Skytrax Carrier in Latin America<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reactivation not only enhances passenger comfort but also creates a significant competitive advantage regarding travel duration. It is estimated that direct flights will allow travelers to reduce their journey times by 1.5 to 3 hours compared to options requiring intermediate stopovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kamal Hadad, Commercial Director of LATAM Airlines Group, emphasized that the route allows the company to &#8220;expand and improve alternatives for our passengers while strengthening markets with high growth potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of this route lies in its ability to feed traffic into the airline&#8217;s hub in Santiago. From the Chilean capital, passengers arriving from Ecuador will be able to connect to more than 50 domestic and international destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
