According to data from OAG Schedules Analyser, Turkish Airlines' one-stop service from Istanbul to Santiago will be the Chilean capital’s eighth connection to Europe and the first direct link between Chile and Turkey.
The development follows LATAM’s request to Colombia’s civil aviation authority Aerocivil in October 2023 for permission to operate fifth-freedom flights connecting Bogota and Madrid as part of a route that originates and ends at Santiago’s Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL) in Chile.
