LATAM Airlines expands frequency of Brazil international flights; Air France adds route
LATAM Airlines will increase the frequency of seven of its international routes connecting Brazil to the United States and countries in Europe and Africa, it said on Thursday. The move by Chile-based LATAM, whose local unit is currently Brazil's No. 1 carrier in international operations by market share, comes as rival Air France KLM also announced it would add a new route to the South American nation. LATAM said starting Oct. 27, it will increase flights from Sao Paulo to Orlando, Los Angeles, Johannesburg, Milan, Rome, Madrid and Lisbon by 38% when compared to the same period a year ago.
