LATAM Brasil will commence nonstop flights between Salvador and Santiago from January 3, 2027, with three weekly frequencies during the Southern summer season. The new route cuts about three hours off the journey compared to the existing one-stop options via São Paulo. LATAM announced the route on Friday, with tickets going on sale on August 29, 2026, on the airline's website and through regular sales channels.
Aline Mafra, LATAM Brasil's Sales and Marketing director, stated that the airline aims to connect two markets with strong tourism appeal. In 2026/2027 summer, LATAM will also introduce seasonal flights between Natal and Buenos Aires/Ezeiza and between Maceió and Buenos Aires/Ezeiza, each with three weekly frequencies. The airline has expanded its Brazilian network from 44 to 63 airports since 2019, and the new Embraer E195-E2 fleet will take it to 67 domestic destinations, its largest ever.
LATAM's international affiliates connect Brazil to over 90 destinations abroad, with 32 of them being direct flights from Brazil. The Salvador-Santiago nonstop offers Bahia-based expats and Chileans in the Northeast a same-night hop across the continent, making weekend-length trips feasible. Tickets can be purchased at a discount during the initial weeks of the launch.
