LATAM adds flights to Puerto Natales, Patagonia

LATAM Airlines (‘LATAM’) is extending its network, adding a twice-weekly seasonal service between Santiago and Puerto Natales, Patagonia, starting from 6 December 2016 until 25 February 2017.

The route will offer passengers easier access during the summer months to Puerto Natales and surrounding attractions, including Torres del Paine National Park.

LATAM Airlines Chile, CEO, Gonzalo Undurraga said the new service will improve connectivity in Patagonia, facilitate easier access to one of the world’s greatest tourist attractions as well as continue to contribute to the development of Chile and its regions.

“As an airline group, we are committed to offering passengers unrivalled connectivity to, from and within Latin America as well as the opportunity to visit the awe-inspiring destinations that this vast continent has to offer,” Undurraga added.

LATAM Airlines Chile flight LA001 will depart Santiago at 10:45 on Saturday and Tuesday, arriving in Puerto Natales at 13:55, with a journey time of 3 hours 10 minutes.  The return flight (LA002) will depart Puerto Natales at 14:35 on Saturday and Tuesday – stopping in Punta Arenas – and arrive in Santiago at 19:30, with a journey time of 4 hours 55 minutes (all times local).

The flight times are scheduled to enable convenient connections with international flights to and from Europe, the United States and other international destinations.
