Chilean airports offered 16.5
million one-way seats in 2013
AEROPUERTO INTERNACIONAL MONSEÑOR OSCAR ARNULFO ROMERO
Located in
South
America, Chile borders
Peru to the north, Bolivia
to the north-east,
Argentina to the east, the
Pacific Ocean to the west
and the Drake Passage in
the far south. The country
has an estimated
population of 17 million
and measures
approximately 4,500
kilometres in length, but
on average less than 200
kilometres in width. The
country’s main airports,
which dominate air
traffic, are Santiago,
Antofagasta, Iquique,
Puerto Montt, Calama and
Concepcion airports,
which between them
handled a combined 21
million passengers in
2012. In addition, they
represent over 83% of all
weekly seats and flights,
while the remainder of
services are split between
the other 10 airports.
Santiago is the main
international gateway to
the country, as it accounts
for 52% of all flights and
55% of all seat capacity.
Domestic
capacity +15%
Analysis of Innovata
annual capacity data
indicates that around
16.5 million one-way
seats were offered on
routes involving the
Chilean airports in
2013, 10% more than in
the previous year. At
15%, domestic capacity
noted significantly
more growth than
international services,
which experienced an
annual change of 2.6%
last year.
Overall, looking at
capacity data since 2004,
the domestic market
has outperformed the
international sector in
terms of growth, even
though the latter noted
54% growth over this
period. In terms of the
domestic market, this
has increased by nearly
82% when compared to
2004. In fact, one-way
seat capacity was up in
all years since 2004, with
the exception of 2009,
when a decrease of -8%
was experienced due
to the global economic
recession affecting the
Chilean air transport
market as well.
Chile has become increasingly attractive
for the network planning community.
klM has re-entered the Chilean market
on 2 february with the resumption of
thrice-weekly services fromAmsterdam to
Santiago operated via Buenos Aires Ezeiza.
