Chile Breaks Ground: First South American Airport Metro Line Opens

Santiago, Chile - In a significant development for South American infrastructure, Chile has announced a new metro line that will directly connect Santiago's Arturo Merino Benítez Airport to the city center. This is a first for the continent. The new Line 7A, starting at the Guellén station, will reduce travel time to a mere seven minutes. "In just seven minutes, a person will be able to connect from Cerrillos to the air terminal via an underground route," stated a government official in a recent press conference. This development is expected to significantly improve accessibility and convenience for travelers, boosting tourism and economic activity. The project positions Chile as a leader in regional infrastructure and transportation innovation.
