On Wednesday, Aerolíneas Argentinas and several LATAM Airlines Group subsidiaries (Brazil, Colombia and Peru) entered into codeshare agreements. This agreement not only broadens travel options for passengers but also strengthens cooperation between leading airlines in the region.

What Does the Agreement Entail?

Codeshare flights allow airlines to sell tickets on each other’s domestic routes, facilitating international connections. Tickets are now available through the sales channels of both airlines for flights starting February 1, except for those involving Peru, which require government approval and will be available from April 1.

From Buenos Aires to Cusco: A flight operated by Aerolíneas Argentinas to Lima, connecting with LATAM Airlines Peru to Cusco.

In the near future, the agreement will expand to include LATAM’s subsidiaries in Ecuador and Paraguay, with details to be announced later.

Benefits for Loyalty Programs

Starting February 1, members of the LATAM Pass and Aerolíneas Plus loyalty programs can earn miles on flights operated by both airlines, even if the flights are not codeshare. This does not yet include mileage redemption, which will be communicated soon.
