LATAM Cargo will add an additional Boeing 767-300F before the end of 2022, bringing its fleet to 16 freighters of the model.
«This aircraft will allow us to further strengthen our value proposition through a broader and deeper network. The combination of size and competitiveness of the B767-300F allows us to offer our customers more and better route options,» commented LATAM Cargo CEO Andrés Bianchi.
The additional cargo capacity will increase connectivity on transatlantic routes and benefit the transport of general cargo, flowers, and fresh fruit, among other products.
