LATAM Announces New Direct Route Between Lima and Florianópolis
LATAM Airlines Perú will launch a direct route between Lima and Florianópolis, the capital of Brazil’s Santa Catarina state, starting December 2, 2025. This operation marks a milestone for Peruvian aviation, as it is the first time a Peruvian carrier will connect both cities directly.
The new route will operate with three weekly frequencies: flights from Lima to Florianópolis (LA 2394) will depart on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 23:40, arriving at 06:20 the following day. Return flights (LA 2395) will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 07:10, with an estimated arrival in Lima at 10:20.

Operational Details: Aircraft, Capacity, and Duration
The flights will be operated using Airbus A319 aircraft (with seating for 12 Premium Economy and 126 Economy passengers) and/or Airbus A320 aircraft, which can accommodate up to 168 Economy and 8 Premium Economy passengers. The average flight duration is five hours, representing a significant improvement over previous connections via São Paulo and reducing travel time by up to three hours.
Sixth Direct Route Between Peru and Brazil
With this new addition, LATAM Perú will offer a total of six direct routes to Brazil, joining its existing connections to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre. The Lima–Florianópolis route is expected to serve approximately 43,000 passengers annually, further solidifying the Jorge Chávez Airport’s role as a key regional hub.
According to Manuel van Oordt, CEO of LATAM Airlines Perú, the expansion aligns with a regional connectivity strategy: “With these direct flights, Florianópolis becomes the sixth destination we will operate to and from Brazil, opening a market full of opportunities for business and tourism exchange with the state of Santa Catarina. It also strengthens Lima’s hub by connecting Florianópolis to major destinations in North America and the Caribbean, such as New York City, Los Angeles, and the beaches of Aruba and Cancún.”
