This new route will begin with two weekly frequencies, will include Quito (Ecuador) - Los Angeles (United States) - Houston (United States) - Manaus (Brazil) - Viracopos, Sao Paulo (Brazil), into its itinerary. This number is expected to increase to four flights a week starting in the second semester with the arrival of the new cargo planes announced as part of its growth plan

"At LATAM Cargo we are constantly reviewing our cargo itinerary in search of new opportunities that can benefit our customers. In this case, the inauguration of this route responds to an initiative that will allow us to offer more capacity and provide more options to be present in the most relevant markets," says Gudny Genskowsky, Network Director at LATAM Cargo.

Focused on supporting the flower business, this route will favor the transportation of flowers from Ecuador, diversifying the export destinations of this product, adding Los Angeles (LAX) as a new delivery point, to the existing ones of Miami and Amsterdam.

In addition to Los Angeles, LATAM Cargo added Houston to its network, which will allow its customers to significantly reduce transportation times from the west coast and the southern region of the United States to South America, benefiting the movement of industrial and electronic components, machinery, engines, auto parts, among others.

As a complement to this operation, LATAM Cargo has strengthened its interline agreements to take advantage of the connectivity that Los Angeles Airport has with key markets in Asia. For this reason, the integration of this new route that will connect the United States with South America is a reflection of LATAM Cargo's commitment to adapt to the needs of its customers, taking advantage of the flexibility of its network to offer customized solutions.
