LATAM Cargo has incorporated Los Angeles and Mexico City into its cargo network to mitigate the restrictions on belly capacity previously used to serve these markets.
By offering connectivity from Los Angeles and Mexico City, LATAM Cargo contributes to supplying South America. The transported products mainly include fruits and vegetables, medicines and electronic devices, in addition to airplane, automobile and mining spare parts, among other goods.
The company offers a total capacity of 190 tons each week from Los Angeles and Mexico City to South America.
Stated Kamal Hadad, LATAM Cargo’s Alliances and Network Director: “The incorporation of Los Angeles and Mexico City to our cargo network is part of our strategy, focused on providing a robust connectivity service within America through a reliable and permanent solution for our clients.
“These measures are complemented by the increase in frequencies between South America and North America, which was implemented when the pandemic began. Through this, we have consolidated our position in the region.”
After the incorporation, LATAM Cargo has consolidated its service and has become a key player in permanently connecting South America to and from Western North America. It is the only airline that offers a stable itinerary and capacity.
In addition, LATAM Cargo’s network is the only one that offers direct routes to connect Chile to Los Angeles and Mexico City, and Peru to Mexico City. Likewise, the company offers direct connection from Los Angeles and Mexico to Chile and Peru.
In terms of Northbound flows, these routes facilitate South American exports, including Chilean salmon, Peruvian perishables and textiles and general cargo from Brazil.
The route to Los Angeles becomes especially relevant for perishable exports, as this is a connection point towards Asia. In all, the company offers 350 tons of capacity each week from South America to Western North America.
LATAM Cargo’s fleet consists of 11 B767Fs.
