Delta Air Lines, LATAM Group Expand Routes Between North and South America

Delta Air Lines and LATAM Group announced the addition of joint venture routes as the companies grow their combined network between North and South America.

As part of the expanded partnership, LATAM Airlines Colombia will launch new daily service between Miami and Medellin, starting on October 29, and operating on Airbus A320 aircraft offering Premium Economy and Economy cabins.

On the same day, LATAM Airlines Peru will introduce three-times weekly service between Lima and Atlanta, which will operate with Boeing 767 aircraft with Premium Business and Economy cabins.

“The mission of Delta and the LATAM group’s partnership is to make travel between our Joint Venture markets in North and South America easier and more enjoyable, and to bring the continents closer than ever,” Delta Vice President Alex Antilla said.

Starting on December 22, Delta will offer three-times weekly service between Atlanta and Cartagena, Colombia, on Boeing 737 aircraft with First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin service.

Delta also added a second daily flight between Atlanta and Bogota, scheduled to launch on October 29 aboard Boeing 757 aircraft offering First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin service.

“We are very happy to announce the new route between Miami and Medellin, one of the major financial, industrial and commercial centers in Colombia,” LATAM Chief Commercial Officer Martin St. George said. “At the same time, the service between Lima and Delta’s largest hub in Atlanta, also reinforces our joint commitment to deliver more and better connection options for our customers.”

The new routes will be available for booking beginning June 17 on Delta’s and LATAM’s official websites. The airlines previously added new markets and flights, including Bogota-Orlando on July 1, Sao Paulo-Los Angeles on August 1 and New York-Rio de Janeiro on December 16.
