LATAM Airlines inaugurated its new direct flight between Buenos Aires and Miami this Monday with a load factor exceeding 90%. Integrated into the daily Santiago-Buenos Aires-Miami route, the operation took off from Ministro Pistarini International Airport, reinforcing the connection between Argentina and the United States.

Florencia Scardaccione, Commercial Manager of LATAM in Argentina, highlighted that the first-day load factor reflects a concrete need from the public and confirms that Miami remains among the country’s favorite destinations. She also emphasized that the goal is to deliver a modern, comfortable, and close-knit experience, now boosted by this newly launched route.
An Additional Boost Thanks to the Joint Venture with Delta
