On October 29, LATAM Airlines Group reached an important milestone by inaugurating its flights between Lima (LIM), Peru, and Atlanta (ATL), United States. This new service marks the sixth destination of the airline in the United States, starting initially with three weekly flights and increasing to a daily flight for the second quarter of 2024.
This achievement stems from the joint venture between Delta and LATAM that began last year and has resulted in six new routes, more than 15,000 flights, and the transportation of over 3 million passengers.
To enhance connectivity between South America and the United States, the LATAM Group has announced four new routes for the Northern winter season. One of these key routes is the connection between Lima, one of LATAM’s main hubs, and Atlanta, Delta’s primary base of operations.
