The states with the largest increases (excluding São Paulo and the Federal District, where LATAM’s hubs in Brazil are located) are Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo (both with 21 new weekly flights), Santa Catarina (19 new weekly flights), Minas Gerais and Paraná (16 new weekly flights), and Ceará (14 new weekly flights).
“We continue to strengthen and are committed to helping democratize aviation in Brazil. Increased demand and the sustainability of our operation allow us to increase flights to benefit those who still need to plan their business or leisure travel this year,” commented Aline Mafra, LATAM Brazil’s Director of Sales and Marketing.
In 2024, LATAM expects the arrival of more aircraft and a 7% to 9% growth in its domestic operations in Brazil, compared to 2023. In practice, more than 3 million aircraft seats will be added in the country during the year.
