Private flights to Santiago de Chile

Santiago de Chile is the political and economic capital of Chile and one of the most dynamic corporate centers in South America, located in an Andean valley of extraordinary beauty at 567 meters above sea level. Regional hub for copper mining, finance, technology and agribusiness, Santiago concentrates the Latin American headquarters of the main global operators of natural resources and financial services.

Main experiences

Vitacura and Las Condes make up Santiago's business and luxury district, with international boutiques, art galleries and fine dining restaurants. Lo Barnechea and Valle Nevado offer world-class skiing less than an hour from downtown, while the Casablanca Valley and Maipo produce some of the best wines in South America. For the outdoor enthusiast, the Cajón del Maipo and the Andean peaks are 90 minutes away by car.

Reference accommodation

The W Santiago in Isidora Goyenechea, the Hotel Singular in Lastarria and the Mandarin Oriental are top-level references for the demanding traveler. The luxury apartments in Vitacura and Lo Barnechea offer superior privacy for extended stays or high-discretion visits.

Gastronomy

The Santiago gastronomic scene combines signature cuisine with excellent Chilean ingredients: seafood from the South Pacific, Patagonian lamb, truffles from Pucón and wines from the best wineries in the Central Valley. Restaurants like Boragó (on the list of the 50 Best in Latin America) and the Italia neighborhood position Santiago on the international gourmet circuit.

Why fly privately

Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL) operates private flights efficiently, with FBO terminals that eliminate commercial aviation procedures. From Buenos Aires, the flight takes between 1 h 50 min and 2 h 10 min. Flying privately between Buenos Aires and Santiago is the most productive solution for the executive with an agenda in both capitals: it allows morning meetings in one city and a business dinner in the other on the same day.

Best time to visit

Santiago is an active corporate destination throughout the year. The southern summer (December–February) is the high season for skiing in the mountain range and for visits to wine cellars. Autumn (March–May) is the harvest season, with the valley at its maximum splendor. Winter brings snowfall in the Andes, ideal for skiing, while the city remains temperate and operational.
