Newsletter November 2025

Each season brings new challenges and opportunities, and at Aerocardal we begin this period with a renewed drive to bring our passengers closer to destinations that inspire and amaze. The high season for tourist charters is one of the most intense moments of our operation, where planning, coordination, and teamwork come together to offer tailor-made flights designed to showcase the best of Chile and the region.

Our 2025–2026 operation will take us to places that stand out for their natural and cultural richness. We begin the season with routes to San Pedro de Atacama, a unique oasis in the world’s driest desert; Puerto Natales, the gateway to the majesty of Patagonia; and Pucón, renowned for its adventure and outdoor activities. We are also strengthening departures to the Salar de Uyuni, one of the most breathtaking landscapes in South America, in addition to connecting our passengers with iconic capitals such as Buenos Aires and Lima.

This year, we are also incorporating routes that live in the imagination of millions of travelers: Machu Picchu, a world-famous historical landmark, and Easter Island, a destination where cultural heritage and nature come together like nowhere else. Every flight has been meticulously planned to ensure efficient and comfortable operations, fully aligned with the Aerocardal standard, where safety, punctuality, and dedication define every stage of the experience.

For us, it is an honor to be part of these journeys that allow travelers to discover new territories and cultures. Each itinerary represents an opportunity to showcase the dedication of our team and the quality of a service designed for different types of passengers, from families to companies and organized groups.

Let’s continue building new horizons and accompanying our travelers on routes that invite us to explore, connect, and keep moving forward together—always with the conviction to fly a little higher every day.

Sincerely, Ricardo Real – CEO Aerocardal

Chile and Spain strengthen operational cooperation around the C295 maritime surveillance aircraft

The Armed Forces of Chile and Spain have strengthened their technical collaboration to enhance the operation, maintenance, and training associated with C295 maritime surveillance aircraft. This joint effort aims to standardize procedures and improve operational efficiency, particularly in patrol, maritime control, and search-and-rescue missions. The cooperation includes experience exchange, logistical support, and capability modernization.

Thanks to this reinforced bilateral partnership, both nations will be able to improve interoperability in scenarios that require international coordination. The agreement also promotes the development of new predictive-maintenance practices and the training of specialized crews. With this, Chile consolidates its regional position in aerial surveillance and the protection of strategic maritime areas.

Chilean Air Force conducts successful medical evacuation (EVACAM) from Rapa Nui.

The Chilean Air Force carried out a high-complexity aeromedical evacuation from Rapa Nui to the mainland, transporting a critically ill patient. The aircraft was specially configured to provide advanced life support throughout the entire flight, allowing the patient to remain stabilized in the air. These operations demonstrate the country’s ability to respond to emergencies in isolated areas of the national territory.

The mission was conducted by a crew trained in specialized medical procedures and coordinated with clinical teams on the ground to ensure a safe transfer. This type of operation highlights the importance of air connectivity for remote communities and the fundamental role of the Chilean Air Force within the national rescue network. The successful execution reaffirms the high standards of the country’s aeromedical service.
