LATAM to launch nonstop Santiago-Sydney service

LATAM Airlines Chile plans to launch three times weekly Santiago-Sydney nonstop service in Nov-2019, replacing the direct service operating via Auckland on those days (ETB Travel News, 02-May-2019). LATAM Airlines Group CCO Roberto Alvo stated: "In recent years we have expanded our services significantly and today we offer unrivalled choice for passengers on both sides of the Pacific… More Australians than ever are visiting South America, wanting to discover the many unique destinations of the region and we have seen equally strong demand from passengers travelling in the other direction, forging ever greater tourism and business links". According to OAG, LATAM Airlines Chile operates Santiago-Auckland-Sydney service daily.
