(10/12/2010)Taca Airlines will launch four direct flights from its Lima hub to Miami, Mendoza, Antofagasta, Chile, and Brasilia, which will result in a 25 percent increase in operations from the Peru’s capital, Taca's Sales Manager Nani Garrues reported today.

“About 170,000 passengers use Taca's hub in Lima as a transfer point. Sometimes, they spend the night in the city and enjoy the gastronomy,” he said.

The new Lima-Miami route will operate daily starting Dec. 1, and is one of the routes with the most demand in the market. The company aims to fly about 30 percent of passengers using this connection.

The Lima-Mendoza route will also start operations Dec. 1 and will have three flights per week, becoming the second point of connection in Lima with Argentina. Taca operates 17 direct flights to Buenos Aires.

The Lima-Antofagasta route will start to operate on Jan. 3, 2011, with three flights per week, focusing on the corporate segment.

Finally, the Lima-Brasilia route will start operations on Dec. 15, with three weekly flights.
