Pluna to fly domestic flights in Chile

PLUNA Líneas Aéreas Uruguayas S.A. (Primeras Líneas Uruguayas de Navegación Aérea) (Montevideo) (now stylized as “pluna”) announced on October 4, 2011 that it will begin scheduled passenger flights within Chile in the first quarter of 2012. The Uruguayan carrier will connect Santiago with Antofagasta and Calama in the north and Concepción in the south. A fourth frequency between Montevideo and Santiago is also to be added.

Pluna previously flew between Santiago and Punta Arenas on overnight operations (freight to Punta Arenas and passengers back to Santiago) thanks to an agreement with SKY Airline in October 2009 but this ended in June 2010.

Chile and Uruguay have an Open Skies agreement, therefore any airline of both countries can operate in the other.
