#LATAM

(TR) Poland is no longer a stop for workers from the LATAM region on their way to the West, but is becoming a goal in itself. According to the report "Work in Poland: Stereotypes of Latin Americans. Edition 2026", 82% of respondents indicate Poland as their first choice among European countries.

Então, pá? Boeing 787 da LATAM aterrou num dos mais remotos e isolados aeroportos do mundo, Mataveri na Ilha de Páscoa em pleno Pacífico. O aeroporto alternativo mais próximo fica a mais de 2500 km de distância. Até aí tudo (quase) normal. O problema é que ao encostar a escada móvel para saída dos passageiros o motorista do veículo bateu forte no avião e arrancou a porta L2. E agora? Não há porta de substituição e a estrutura que a suporta precisa de ser inspecionada. Tão cedo o avião não sai da Ilha de Páscoa, ainda se junta às monumentais estátuas que lá estão há séculos a olhar o mar. O Boeing 787 Dreamliner tem certiificação ETOPS de 330 minutos, ou seja, pode voar durante 5 horas e meia com apenas um motor a funcionar. Deve ser divertido #Boeing787 #LATAM #IlhaDePáscoa
