Misleading caption title. Reality is that Latam from Chile “might” restart 1st October - as Chile expects all population will have had both vaccines by then.

But for the route to be economical it needs passengers also from UK and Europe etc and tourism demand- also depends on successful total vaccination programs in those countries as well - and the right time of season weather- so more likely 1st November- IF all the boxes are ticked.

Latam flight from Braxzil- just usual civil servant “fantasy speke”- better if they accepted Reality for a change!
1- Brazil unlikley to be in control of Covid and all vaccinated up for a year at least so until then and unsafe healthwise route.

2- When route is safe healthwise- it still will not happen as we will not accept the Argentine Govt,s clear requests that the route will either route through Buenos Aires and /or be operated by Aerolineas.

So wake up FIG - That route is NOT going to happen at all! - its gone. Forget It.

I do agree with the above poster evaluation about the non-feasibility of the Brasil-Malvinas air-route...

Concerning the Chile-Malvinas route..., I Think that a reduction of the former weekly frequency to once a forthnight + a reduction in airplane size will have to be considered...
