Sky Airline Flies New A320

Chilean carrier Sky Airline has begun flying the first of two new A320-200s, which will enable it to increase international routes throughout Latin America and continue charter flights.

The carrier received two A320-200s earlier in May, and is expected to start operating the second Airbus A320-200 by the end of June, airbus said in an official press statement yesterday (Monday).

Based in Santiago, Chile, Sky Airline flies to popular domestic points, including to: Arica, Iquique, Calama, Antofagasta, El Salvador, Copiapó, Concepción, Temuco, Puerto Montt, Balmaceda and Punta Arenas.

The carrier also offers international flights to Arequipa, Peru and La Paz, Bolivia.

Sky Airline's latest additions come during an important growth period for Chile. According to the 2010 Airbus Global Market Forecast, Chile's traffic growth is 47 percent above 2000 levels, almost twice the traffic growth rate of all of Latin America.
