LATAM Airlines makes Washington 5th US city

LATAM Airlines launched service Monday connecting Washington Dulles to the company’s hub in Lima, Peru. LATAM moved to add the nonstop route after seeing strong connecting demand for Washington-Lima travel via its Miami hub, said Pablo Chiozza, LATAM’s SVP for USA, Canada and Caribbean. LATAM Airlines is the only carrier to fly nonstop between the cities, starting the route with a schedule of three flights a week. LATAM will fly the Washington-Lima route with Boeing 767-300 aircraft that seat 18 in business class and 220 in coach. Chiozza says LATAM expects leisure demand to account for 70%-80% of passengers on the route.<br/>
