LATAM loads non-stop SCL-SYD flights
LA802 is blocked at 13 hours 15 minutes east-bound SYD-SCL (1000 to 0915) and LA803 is 14 hours 45 minutes west-bound SCL-SYD (0130 0615) in 2019. I wonder how much longer the flights are due to ETOPS 330 compared with QF27/28. LA802/LA803 will become the flight with the longest diversion point from a ETOPS point (that and Air New Zealand's AKL-EZE). MEL-SCL is downgraded to the B788 and the SYD/AKL flights (both non-stop and one-day via AKL) are now B789. The non-stops look like they start in 2020. The flights look like they're timed for Asia Pacific connections onto CX and QF via SYD.
