The group plans to increase its freighter operations (Boeing 767F) to 15 weekly frequencies, representing a 25% increase in cargo capacity between the two regions, reaffirming its leadership as the largest cargo operator group connecting both continents.
In response to the growing demand between South America and Europe, LATAM Cargo Group and its subsidiaries have announced a significant capacity expansion starting in October this year. The group plans to increase its freighter operations using its B767F fleet to 15 weekly frequencies, representing a 25% increase in cargo capacity between the two regions. This move reaffirms LATAM Cargo Group’s commitment to the sustained development of international trade to and from South America.
From Europe to South America, 15 weekly frequencies are projected, offering the most convenient itineraries and flight days in the market, with three daily flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, connecting multiple European origins with South America.
Thanks to the operational flexibility of the B767F fleet, LATAM Cargo Group will offer customers access to the broadest portfolio of delivery destinations in South America. This includes exclusive industry connections through its hubs in Campinas (Viracopos – São Paulo), Santiago de Chile, and Lima, as well as
medium-sized destinations such as Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, São José dos Campos, Florianópolis, Montevideo, and Buenos Aires, among others. This will provide improved arrival times to final destinations, actively contributing to the strengthening of the region’s logistics ecosystem.
In the reverse direction, the operation from South America to Europe will also include 15 weekly frequencies, with three daily flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Of these, the 10 existing frequencies departing from Quito on the Pacific side will be maintained, while 5
new frequencies originating from Brazil will be added. All flights will be operated by LATAM Cargo Group and/or its subsidiaries.
“In a challenging and constantly evolving global environment, we remain committed to our strategic markets, strengthening routes where we can offer differentiated and reliable service. Today, together with our subsidiaries, we lead the cargo market between South America and Europe with a 23% share of
total capacity,” said Andres Bianchi, CEO of LATAM Cargo Group.
