LAN starts flights from Santiago de Chile to Milan

AUG 3, 2015: LATAM Airlines Group began selling tickets for its Santiago – São Paulo – Milan service to be operated by LAN using its modern fleet of Boeing 787s. Therefore, as of November 4, LAN will operate seven weekly flights from the Santiago International Airport, via São Paulo, to the Milan-Malpensa Airport.

The route operated between São Paulo and Milan is currently being operated using Airbus A330s. Beginning in November, the route will be operated by LAN using Boeing 787 airliners. Benefits of using the Boeing 787 family includes less fuel consumption as compared to similar aircraft, and reducing environmental impact and CO₂ emission by 20 percent.

“This new flight will allow us to connect Santiago and Milan, via São Paulo, using our new Boeing 787s, which offers 13 percent more seats and an improved executive class, with cutting-edge in-flight entertainment, thereby allowing us to connect more people between South America and Europe. With this we reinforce our commitment to improving travel experience, reducing the environmental impact of our operations and serving as a bridge between South America and the rest of the world,” said Roberto Alvo, CEO of International Business and Alliances at LATAM Airlines Group.

The executive also touched on the renovation of the new terminal 3 at the Guarulhos Airport, mentioning its “first-class infrastructure, allowing for shorter connection times in flights via São Paulo and providing passengers with an improved travel experience.”
