LATAM sees potential in Australian-South American market
Next year’s start of direct flights between Melbourne and Santiago is another measured step by LATAM to tap into the “trade and tourism” flow between Australian and South American.
Melbourne is only LATAM’s second Australian destination, “but there’s a lot of potential in Australia as point of origin and also a destination (for South Americans),” says Patricio Aylwin, managing director of Asia Pacific for LATAM.
“Australia is has enough big cities like Melbourne which have probably been under-served so they can give us capacity, whether through direct or indirect flights,” Aylwin tells Australian Business Traveller.
While the Sydney-Santiago route involves a stop-over at Auckland, its southern sibling will run as a direct service: a decision which Aylwin says “just made more sense from all perspectives.”
“We wanted to provide direct access to Melbourne and we didn’t want to extend even more capacity to Auckland.”
Aylwin admits that there is “always” the possibility for Sydney-Santiago to shift to a non-stop service, despite the accidental side-effect it’s had in become one of the better-value options for trans-Tasman business travellers.
However, both Sydney and Melbourne are likely to retain LATAM’s Boeing 787-9 jets rather than shift to the new Airbus A350s which are “mainly flying from Brazil to the US and Europe,” Aylwin says.
“The A350’s performance has been very good, it’s everything we expected from that aircraft, but I think the Boeing 787 is probably a better fit for Sydney and Melbourne.”
To Santiago and beyond…
And despite the 7pm arrival of the 13-hour flight from Melbourne into Santiago, Aylwin expects many passengers will still hop straight onto connecting flights from Santiago to other South American cities on LATAM’s extensive network – although “we are fine-tuning our schedule so people can connect even better than they could today.”
“There are connections to all the major cities” from Santiago through the late evening “and we are considering connecting traffic for sure. This is not just a point-to-point flight, we know connectivity into the rest of South America is extremely important.”
“Yes, there will be late arrival into cities such as Argentina, Peru and Brazil, but we think most passengers will want to continue on and arrive at their final destination as quickly as possible.”

Football named Oz’s biggest club-based participation sport
Football has been named Australia’s biggest club-based participation sport.
Wednesday, 7 December 2016 –
The ASC’s AusPlay survey reveals that more than a million men, women, boys and girls are playing football, significantly more than any other club-based sport.
“It’s official, we are number one,” said Football Federation Australia (FFA) chief executive David Gallop.
“Football is Australia’s most popular club-based participation sport for adults and children because it is the most inclusive and accessible. Everyone is welcome in football regardless of gender, age, ability or background.
“Football is also the biggest global sport with the world’s highest profile players and competitions and the planet’s biggest event, the FIFA World Cup.
“The combination of local accessibility and global interest is attracting more and more Australians.”
Mr Gallop said the growth of the Hyundai A-League and the Westfield W-League was providing pathways for more Australian juniors to pursue a professional career while giving Australian and New Zealand fans a high quality league of their own.
“There has been a lot said recently about the emergence of opportunities for women in sport and we applaud these developments. But this is nothing new for football,” he said. “The Westfield W-League is currently in its 9th season and producing players like Caitlin Foord who is representing her country with distinction and last week was named Female Player of the Year by the Asian Football Confederation.
“Caitlin is a great role model and if you are looking to inspire your kids to get involved in sport then take them along to a W-League match or A-League match this weekend.”
Mr Gallop said the AusPlay survey was an important initiative by the Australian Sports Commission, supported by the Australian Government.
“Ultimately sport is about fun, fitness and friendships. It helps shape us as individuals and as a society. This work by the Sports Commission provides evidence and insights that will tell us what we need to do to keep the next generation healthy and active,” Gallop said.
