New Direct Routes and Resumption of Suspended Flights
At the end of 2024, LATAM inaugurated new direct routes from Santiago to Recife and Fortaleza, and since January 3, 2025, it has begun operating flights to Porto Alegre. This latter destination had its flights suspended for seven months due to flooding.
