Some Christmas Eve operations today at SCL 
A Maroon Air 747 wearing the Flexi Alliance Livery is inbound from LHR, bringing many people home to their families.
The next international flight to arrive is this shiny 747 from Transworld, also inbound from LHR. Due to the high amount of expected travelers because of the holidays, many additional flights are scheduled.
Coming in from Washington, this Alain Airlines 747 is slowly decelerating down the runway. This elegant livery never gets old!
Even though cargo operations don’t play a major role for AeroBlue at their SCL hub, their subsidiary ABC (AeroBlueCargo) operates a few daily flights to Washington, usually with a Boeing 777. Due to the higher request of goods right before Christmas, the airline operates one extra Boeing 747. Let’s hope that all the presents carried here got received right on time (which shouldn’t be a problem when you travel by AeroBlue ^^). Waiting at the gate in the background is a Thruii Airlines 777 that is expected to depart to Washington soon after the 747 has taxied along.
The sun might have already set, airport operations however are still running busy. One of the last flights of the evening to arrive is this Pilster 747 that departed from Sydney a few hours earlier. Considering that many people already took a flight earlier operated by a Pilster A350 the aircraft is relatively empty passenger wise with only the cargo area full of presents.
With this post I wish you all calm and peaceful holidays and if you celebrate it a very merry Christmas! Thank you for being such awesome connection partners, WOA and forum wise <3
(I should more often write such little WOA-stories, it’s fun ^^)
