LANChile Ends Havana Link

Posted 19/04/2011

LANChile is to suspend its weekly service from Santiago de Chile to the Cuban capital, Havana, from May 7, however, it intends to maintain links to the Caribbean island through its sister carrier LANPeru from its Lima base.  LANChile has operated a Boeing 767-300ER on the flight, carrying an estimated 3,600 O&D passengers during the past year.  The route is dominated by COPA Airlines which carried around 6,800 passengers directly between the two destinations and a further 18,000 via its Tocumen International Airport hub in Panama City.

The new LANPeru link between Lima and Havana has no confirmed start date at the current stage, although sources confirm that the flight will begin towards the end of this year.  TACA International already operates three flights per week between the destinations using a mix of A319s and A320s.

Schedule:

LA584 SCL0910 – 1625HAV 763 6
LA587 HAV1315 – 2215SCL 763 6
