Mercado Libre buys its own fleet of aircrafts to make deliveries in Brazil.
Mercado Libre presented the first of the aircrafts that will be part of its fleet with which the company will deliver its shipments in Brazil. The company is the largest e-commerce platform in the region and the largest company in Argentina by the value of its shares on Wall Street: USD 61 billion, reported Infobae.

“MELI Air” does not exist as such, it is the way the company’s logistic expansion project was called internally. Although it already made deliveries by air mail, now they will be made in that country exclusively and with the aircraft painted in yellow and with the brand. “In the short term there are no similar plans for Argentina,” the company said. “The geographical challenges in Brazil are different and we want to reach everywhere within 24 hours. Yes, similar solutions will be launched in other countries, which will be communicated soon”, they detailed. Mexico would be one of those markets.

The one in Brazil will be a fleet of four aircraft in which the company invested part of the USD 700 million (4 billion reais) that it allocated this year for the entire local operation, with a destination mostly in the logistics area for new distribution centers and cross-docking (logistics processes) and other tools to reduce time and costs. “With this, the company will reduce the delivery times of the packages in Brazil, besides increasing the delivery capacity for the next day when buying products stored in its fulfillment distribution centers in Sao Paulo and Bahia,” explained Mercado Livre, as its name in that country, in a statement.
