Overview

  • Disposición 23/2025, published Tuesday in the Boletín Oficial and signed by Hernán Adrián Gómez, authorizes LATAM's combined Santiago-Buenos Aires-Miami operation.
  • The approval grants fifth-freedom traffic rights that allow a Chilean-registered aircraft and crew to carry passengers between Ezeiza and Miami.
  • ANAC and the National Directorate of Air Transport took part in the review, and authorities said LATAM met all legal and administrative requirements.
  • LATAM has outlined a daily service using Boeing 787-8/9 aircraft and has indicated December 1 availability after earlier signaling a late-2025 launch window.
  • Officials positioned the move within a broader deregulation drive that also recently cleared new Arajet services and a TAP Air Portugal authorization.
