The distance traveled on national and international flights was 50% higher than that recorded in 2021. This is what the company's survey reveals based on data from ANAC (Aviation regulatory body in Brazil).

 

As Alexandre Peronti, Director of Maintenance at LATAM Brazil explains, “the growth of our operation is a consequence not only of demand, but also of the combination of an increasingly efficient fleet of aircraft and a lot of connectivity. The results are more flight steps, less downtime and increased productivity.”

 

Efficient Fleet

 

The LATAM group is advancing in the renewal of its fleet and started 2023 with 16 Airbus A320neo aircraft in operation. The growth reflects the total investment in over 100 more efficient and sustainable A320neo, A321neo and A321 XLR aircraft by the end of this decade. This year alone, the company should receive another 15 Airbus aircraft, including the arrival of its first A321neo, which will be operated by LATAM BraZil. The Airbus A321 XLR will begin to be delivered to the LATAM group in 2025. Currently, 10 Airbus A320neo are allocated in the company's operations in Brazil.

 

The LATAM group's fleet renewal strategy is fully aligned with its commitment to Sustainability. Currently, the group seeks to offset 50% of its domestic emissions by 2030 and be a carbon neutral company by 2050.

 

Currently, the LATAM group has a fleet of 57 Boeing passenger aircraft (767, 777 and 787 models) and 238 Airbus (A319, A320, A320neo and A321 models). In addition, LATAM Cargo Chile, LATAM Cargo Colombia and LATAM Cargo Brasil have a combined fleet of 17 cargo aircraft, which is gradually being expanded to a total of 20 cargo aircraft in 2024. Specifically in Brazil, the LATAM fleet currently comprises 14 Boeing passenger aircraft (models 767, 777 and 787) and 120 of Airbus (models A319, A320, A320neo and A321).

LATAM has promoted the sustainable growth of its operations in Brazil and has led the Brazilian airline industry since 2021, according to ANAC. Currently, it flies in Brazil to its record 55 domestic destinations and easily occupies the position of the company that most connects the country with the world, with direct flights to 21 international destinations and connecting flights to another 67 destinations on all continents, with the exception of Asia.

 

In 2023, LATAM debuted operations in Passo Fundo (RS) and the international routes Porto Alegre-Santiago and Brasília-Lima. At the same time, it expanded its codeshare agreement with Voepass to reach 13 more destinations in Brazil. Later this year, it will start direct flights from Brazil to Johannesburg (South Africa) and Los Angeles (USA), the latter being the first effective delivery in the Brazilian market of its Joint Venture with Delta, definitively approved in 2022. these investments are expected to drive a 25% growth in the number of passengers for LATAM in Brazil in 2023.
