Re: LATAM Group News and Discussion - 2023

This is not looking good. How many times have you made the same remark? Jeez, give it a rest. LATAM's new route between Lima and Heathrow has barely been less than 3 weeks in operation.

Re: LATAM Group News and Discussion - 2023

Apparently, LATAM has not updated its flight availability for the LIM-LHR-LIM route after February 1.
Moreover, they just got new slots for the route.

Re: LATAM Group News and Discussion - 2023

LATAM is reintroducing the 787–9 on its new LIM-LHR-LIM route from October 1, 2024. The 789 will operate on 2 of 5 weekly flights, replacing the 787–8.

Re: AV Cuts LAX-BOG

Another worth-mentioning fact is that LIM is the only destination in South America that supports up to two daily flights to/from LAX in peak season. LATAM serves the route with Boeing 767s and 787s.

Re: LATAM Group News and Discussion - 2023

Actually, the A321XLR is well capable of flying both LIM-IPC and SCL-IPC-PPT under ETOPS-180 rules. That would free up to two 787s (should they want to resume both LIM-IPC and IPC-PPT services). Currently, LATAM is flying to Easter Island from SCL 9 times a week. https://i.postimg.cc/sX8mQp0c/A321-X...

Re: Argentine president-elect reiterates plans to "hand over" Aerolíneas Argentinas to the workers

Fact is Argentina does NOT need Aerolíneas. Just look at Flybondi and JetSmart Argentina, they are actually thriving WITHOUT any state/government fund.

Re: Official: LATAM Perú gets Heathrow slots

LATAM Perú's most senior pilots are already 787 rated, so that's the main reason why they went for the Dreamliner for this new route.

As I stated before, a 77W would have been overkill.
