LATAM Brasil is transferring 4 77Ws and LATAM Argentina 2 A320s to LATAM Chile to make up for lost lift.

No word on SCL-AKL but apparently the 787-800 operating that route doesn't have Block C engines and therefore isn't subject to the ETOPS restriction. (Despite that, NZ has switched to the ETOPS-330 77E on AKL-EZE for the time being.)
