(TAN): LATAM Airlines Group and Delta Air Lines made the first operational announcements after receiving the approval of their joint venture agreement in September. Among the initiatives, LATAM announced the launch of new service between Los Angeles and São Paulo beginning July 1, 2023, adding a popular destination that is not currently served from the US city, Delta said in a news release.
This new route offers customers access to the largest US-South America corporate and overall market from LAX, where Delta is the largest global carrier.
