LATAM Country Manager – Oceania Christopher Ellis said relaunching the route was a “significant milestone” for the airline, fulfilling LATAM’s commitment to improving accessibility for Australians wanting to travel to South America. Ellis added:
“We are pleased to provide Australia with the newest nonstop route between Sydney and Santiago, making it even easier for Australians to experience the rich culture, culinary delights and landscapes that South America has to offer. We’re confident that re-introducing this route will benefit both regions, promoting the growth of tourism and commerce.”

Some of that rich culture was on display at Sydney Airport yesterday. Passengers on the LATAM flight were farewelled by musicians playing traditional tunes and treated to the cultural delicacy, alfajores, described as a small taste of what adventures await them in the Latin continent.
Nonstop comfort of the 787 Dreamliners
From Santiago (SCL), travelers can connect to 144 popular South American destinations, including Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Cuzco, Sao Paulo, Lima and Bogota. LATAM is making it easier to visit destinations such as the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, the spectacular Iguazu Falls or the Amazon Rainforest.

The new Sydney—Santiago service complements the existing nonstop flights between Melbourne Airport (MEL) and Santiago, which will increase to four times weekly from December 4, 2024. Passengers from either Sydney or Melbourne will enjoy the long flight from the comfort of LATAM’s 787-9 Dreamliners, which provide optimal comfort, security and efficiency.

The airline has embarked on an extensive refurbishment program.
The 787 was an early adopter of more restful cabins, with large auto-dimming windows, dynamic lighting, and plenty of space for storage and relaxation. LATAM has recently upgraded its business class cabins to maximize comfort and rest by adding ergonomic seats that recline 180 degrees, temperature-controlling down comforters, larger pillows and NASA-developed Spacer Fabric technology, which regulates temperature, ensures airflow and soothes pressure points on the body.
LATAM is Latin America’s leading airline group and has a strong presence in five South American domestic markets: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Internationally, it flies within Latin America and to Oceania, Europe, the US and the Caribbean.
