In July, the company will also fly to Santiago with the new A330, at times yet to be announced. “Brazil is the second in the list to send more tourists to Chile, and Santiago is the most popular destination, which justifies this other international route, and we announce at a good moment due to the winter season.”

Avianca Brasil plans to grow from 8% to 10% in revenue in a year filled with these two new routes. “There will be approximately 500 seats available daily in the round trip from Miami and Santiago, which amounts to approximately 250,000 passengers annually on both routes,” Gargioni said.
