LATAM resumes passenger flights to Australia and New Zealand

LATAM Airlines Group reinforces its international connectivity and announces that it will resume its passenger operations between Santiago, Auckland and Sydney as of March 29. The tickets are already available for sale and will have a frequency of three flights per week.

“Throughout the pandemic, we have actively collaborated with the authorities to safely move towards a revival of the industry. The resumption of the routes to New Zealand and Australia are one more step on the way to a new normal and we will continue working for greater international connectivity, always having the health and safety of our passengers and collaborators as a priority”, says Claudio Moro, Regional Marketing & Ecommerce Manager

As announced by the respective authorities, from February 21 all people who have a COVID-19 vaccination certificate showing that they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days before the departure of their flight will be able to enter Australia. In addition, they must complete a sworn statement and present a negative PCR test result carried out a maximum of 72 hours before the departure of the flight.

For their part, to enter New Zealand, passengers must meet specific entry requirements, which will be relaxed in phases with the complete reopening of its borders scheduled for October this year.
