Turkish Airlines announced its expansion into South America with the launch of a new route to Santiago, Chile, starting December 18, 2024. This marks the airline’s 26th destination in the Americas and the 10th country served in the region.
The four-times-weekly flights will operate from Istanbul to Santiago with a stopover in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in both directions. Passengers can book flights through the airline’s website, mobile app, sales offices, and authorized agencies.
“As the airline flying to more countries than any other, we continue to bridge continents and cultures,” said Prof. Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee.
“With the launch of flights to Santiago, our 26th destination in the Americas, we reaffirm our commitment to expanding our global flight network and providing travelers with unparalleled connectivity options.”
The new route aims to strengthen ties between Türkiye and Chile, offering travelers convenient connections to South America through a single stopover in Istanbul.
Nicolas Claude, CEO of SCL Nuevo Pudahuel Airport, welcomed the new route, stating: “This new route between Chile and Türkiye will increase the air connectivity of both countries, enabling Chileans to reach Istanbul and the Far East more easily. This new partnership with this best-in-class airline will strengthen the economic and touristic relationship between Chile and Türkiye.”
