LATAM announced it will add 4 new routes and increase its domestic flights in Brazil by 12% starting in April 2025. The growth compared to the same period in 2024 (from 641 to 700 daily domestic flights) represents further progress in its commitment to developing Brazilian aviation, the company stated.
In practice, the investment starting in April 2025 will allow LATAM’s domestic network in Brazil to grow from 52 to 54 destinations and from 124 to 128 routes, according to Aeroin.
The 4 new routes will be operated by Airbus A319 and A320 family aircraft, with a capacity of up to 174 passengers. Tickets for all new direct flights are already available on latam.com and other sales channels.
“This year alone, we have already added more than 1.3 million seats to the Brazilian domestic market. In 2025, we will continue to invest in further expanding this network in a sustainable and efficient way. This is possible because LATAM is strong and offers an increasingly attractive product with more options for all types of travelers,” explains Aline Mafra, Sales and Marketing Director of LATAM Brazil.
