LATAM Cargo Group has expanded its operations between Europe and South America to 15 weekly frequencies during October, marking a 25% increase in total cargo capacity. The company now offers the widest cargo network connecting both continents.
This expansion follows last year's increase from 10 to 12 frequencies in October 2024. LATAM Cargo Group will now provide 750 tons of weekly capacity aboard its B767-300F freighters.
Santiago Álvarez, Chief Commercial Officer of LATAM Cargo Group, said: "Thanks to the flexibility of our fleet and the coordinated work with our affiliates, we are strengthening our network between Europe and South America, reaching a historic milestone in cargo connectivity between both continents. Our focus is to provide customers with logistics solutions that are more agile, reliable, and efficient, facilitating international trade continuously and sustainably."

From South America to Europe, LATAM Cargo Group is launching a new operation from São Paulo to Brussels with a stop in Recife. The route will begin with three weekly frequencies at the end of October, increasing to five per week by mid-December. It will provide the first direct cargo service from Brazil to Europe, improving access for exporters in northeastern Brazil.
The stop in Recife will support the export of mangoes and other perishables from Brazil's northeast, reducing transit times to key European markets. The São Paulo segment will carry oversized cargo, dangerous goods, and other high-volume shipments requiring freighter capacity.
In the opposite direction, LATAM Cargo Group has introduced new routes and added frequencies from Europe to South America. The Brussels–São José dos Campos (Brazil) route began on October 2 with one weekly flight and is expected to increase to two weekly frequencies during the winter season. This service aims to reduce transit times and logistics costs for European shippers moving consumer products and general cargo.
Meanwhile, the Brussels–Buenos Aires route has doubled its operation from two to four weekly flights as of October.
