Consolidation of LATAM’s Regional Winter Network
In addition to adding Ushuaia to its seasonal route network, LATAM Airlines Brasil continues to maintain its connectivity offering to other traditional ski and winter destinations in the country. The carrier continues to operate regular non-stop flights between São Paulo and Bariloche.
This route to Bariloche commenced operations on June 15 with a daily frequency, utilizing Airbus A320 family aircraft. To cater to the high demand expected in July and August, the airline will scale up capacity to this destination to 10 weekly flights, a reinforced schedule that will remain in place until August 30.
