LATAM Airlines to Launch Porto Alegre–Buenos Aires Flights in September, Expands Domestic Network
LATAM Airlines will begin operating flights between Porto Alegre and Buenos Aires-Aeroparque starting in September, with three weekly flights, intensifying competition on the Argentina-Brazil route.
The announcement comes just weeks after GOL resumed the same connection on May 12 after a nine-year hiatus, also with three weekly frequencies. Aerolíneas Argentinas currently operates the route with four weekly flights.
In addition to this new international route, LATAM also announced two new domestic connections from Porto Alegre: to Belo Horizonte/Confins, with 14 weekly flights, and to Florianópolis, with 7 weekly flights, both set to launch in September.
The airline will also increase frequencies on several existing routes: Curitiba (from 7 to 12 weekly flights in September), Rio de Janeiro/Galeão (from 17 to 28 weekly flights in September), and Brasilia (from 14 to 21 weekly flights in August), according to Brazilian aviation media partner AEROIN.
All flights will be operated with Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft, accommodating 174 to 216 passengers, including Premium Economy seating.
“This investment in new routes and increased frequencies from Porto Alegre reinforces LATAM’s commitment to connectivity in Rio Grande do Sul,” said Eduardo Macedo, LATAM Brazil’s Director of Public Affairs. “We are offering more options and flexibility to our passengers while boosting tourism and economic development in the region.”
Rio Grande do Sul Governor Eduardo Leite added, “LATAM’s expansion of its air network reflects the growing confidence in the business environment we are building in the state. With incentives making our routes more attractive, Rio Grande do Sul is positioning itself as a strategic hub for tourism and regional connections. This decision strengthens our ties with Brazil and neighboring countries.”
