The announcement comes after LATAM Airlines Group released a significant plan that seeks to reinforce cargo connectivity between Europe and the Americas, thus offering its customers more and better solutions.
The plan will be implemented gradually during the second half of this year, with more frequencies, a more diversified transatlantic network between Europe and strategic U.S. cities, and greater connectivity to Central and South America via New York and Miami.
LATAM Group’s cargo operators will practically double their capacity between Europe and the Americas, increasing their weekly frequencies by 85% from 7 to 13, that is, a 160% growth compared to pre-pandemic levels (2019).
