Gustavo Puccini, Minister of Productive Development of the Province of Santa Fe, stated that “this air route is highly relevant and allows us to enhance Rosario and Santa Fe, not only in terms of tourism but also in business through corporate traffic. It also adds possibilities for international cargo transportation, connecting the productive sector of Santa Fe with more destinations. As a province, we are implementing an air connectivity plan and strengthening logistics centered on airports. We thank LATAM for trusting in Rosario and the Province of Santa Fe.”
The Rosario-Lima route not only enables passengers to access Peru and its tourist destinations such as Cusco but also connect through LATAM’s hub in Lima to over 25 international destinations in the Americas and more than 17 domestic destinations within Peru.
