LATAM Airlines has opened “LATAM Lounge’ in Santiago de Chile. The 4,000+ square meter space is the largest airport lounge in South America and will be operated with 80 percent renewable energy.
On Tuesday (April 12, 2022), LATAM Airlines Group announced the grand opening of their new over 4,000 square meter lounge in Santiago de Chile, the largest airport lounge in South America. The facility will be operated with 80 percent sustainable energy and features interactive games with educational themes highlighting recycling, conservation and waste reduction. The new LATAM lounge replaces the carrier’s previous VIP lounge and will offer a more sustainable service with a Latin American influence, including art sculptures by emerging South American artists, made with mostly recyclable materials. Some of the 21 featured artists include Ximena Guzmán (Chile), Sofia Donován (Argentina) and Percy Zorrilla (Peru).
In today’s announcment, LATAM Airlines Group’s Vice President of Customers, Paulo Miranda, said,
“Our decision making is always guided by our customers, and we continue to advance an experience where everyone can choose what is important for their trip. We have promoted changes and innovations in our new Lounge to create a space that highlights the best of our region and where there are options for everyone to enjoy their time as they see fit. This represents another step in the group's sustainability strategy, which we are convinced should be an integral aspect in all our areas. It must guide us and be at the center of what we do.”
