Mi ricorda qualche anno fa nel 2011 quando AZ fu un po' la capofila dell'espansione di voli intercontinentali da Rio de Janeiro.
Seguirono subito dopo Alitalia compagnie come Lufthansa, KLM, BA nonstop invece della tag-on da GRU, Emirates, Royal Air Maroc etc
Vediamo se anche qui a SCL si aggregheranno altri vettori in rapida successione.
LHR2200-940+1SCL Tues, Thur, Fri & Sun duration 14hrs40mins
SCL1845-1205+1LHR Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat duration 14hrs20mins
BA diventa il 5° vettore europeo a volare in Cile (IB, AF, AZ, KL le altre). Tutte nonstop tranne la compagnia olandese che al momento effettua scalo a EZE ma magari in un quadro sempre più competitivo deciderà di non fare più soste in Argentina, chissà.

British Airways to launch direct London-Santiago flight
British Airways is launching a direct London to Santiago, Chile flight from January 3 2017.
The service will become the airline’s longest direct route, taking 14 hours 40 minutes, nearly an hour more than the current flight of 13 hours 50 minutes to Buenos Aires.
The four-times weekly flight will be served by the airline’s newest aircraft, the four-cabin Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, complete with a new First cabin.
The new Santiago flight will depart from Heathrow on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays at 22:00 and arrive in Santiago at 09:40 local time the following day. The return flight will depart at 18:45 arriving back in London at 12:05 local the following day.
Alex Cruz, Chairman and CEO of British Airways said: “In recent years we have been increasing our services to South and Central America reflecting the area’s continued growth in both business and tourism.
“This year we’ve already launched flights to Costa Rica and Peru, and the addition of Santiago will secure another important link between the UK and the region.
“The Chilean economy has been steadily growing, with increasing trade links to Europe so this new direct route will respond to the need for travel between the two Capital cities to do business face-to-face.”
