LATAM Airlines Chile announced on 31 July the modification to its codeshare partnership with Qantas. From 26 October, LATAM will no longer codeshare on Qantas’ Sydney-Santiago route.

What This Means for Travellers

This means LATAM will no longer sell tickets on that specific Qantas flight. However, LATAM will be increasing its own non-stop flights between Sydney and Santiago from 4 to 7 weekly, effective October 30, 2025. Qantas will continue to operate its own four weekly flights on this route.

LATAM cited commercial reasons leading to the cancellation of the block space agreement. This change is part of the airline’s broader strategy to increase direct flights and focus on its own operations rather than relying on codeshares with Qantas.

LATAM is also ending its Sydney-Auckland flights. They will also be making changes to its Santiago-Auckland service, including a schedule change and reducing frequency.
