In May, LATAM celebrated its first year of operations in Sinop (OPS), in the state of Mato Grosso. In all, the company has already transported more than 90,000 passengers on 725 flights operated between the city of Mato Grosso and Brasília, with an average occupancy of over 80% of Airbus A319 aircraft that can accommodate up to 12 passengers in the Premium Economy cabin and 126 in Economy.

 

According to Aline Mafra, Director of Sales and Marketing at LATAM Brasil, “Sinop is a very important and strategic corporate destination, especially for the Brazilian agricultural sector. The opening of this route is part of a series of sustainable investments that we have been able to carry out since 2021 because LATAM has become a much stronger, more efficient and more competitive company. This is how we manage to reinforce our commitment to Brazilians and offer more connectivity and dynamism to our economy”.

 

Currently, LATAM is the most punctual airline at Brasília airport (BSB), where it operates a daily flight to Sinop (OPS) with an average duration of 1h45 and which always takes off at 21:45. In the opposite direction, the flight departs from the municipality of Mato Grosso at 4:25 am. In addition to Sinop, LATAM operates flights from Cuiabá (CGB) in Mato Grosso to the airports of Brasília (1 daily flight), São Paulo/Congonhas (CGH - 2 daily flights) and São Paulo/Guarulhos (GRU - 3 daily flights) .

 

Sinop is a destination with great demand for corporate travel, as it is home to several educational institutions and its economy has a strong performance in the agricultural and agroindustry sectors. With the route, LATAM manages to connect the city directly to its main hubs (connection centers) in Brazil and, consequently, abroad.

 

Efficient and competitive, LATAM has invested in sustainable markets to expand its connectivity and promote the sustainable growth of its operations. Since 2021, it has started operating with its own flights at 11 regional airports in Brazil: Jericoacoara (CE), Juazeiro do Norte (CE), Vitória da Conquista (BA), Petrolina (PE), Presidente Prudente (SP), Montes Claros (MG ), Juiz de Fora (MG), Cascavel (PR), Sinop (MT), Caxias do Sul (RS) and Passo Fundo (RS). This year, the company also expanded its codeshare agreement with Voepass and leads the Brazilian airline industry, according to ANAC, repeating the feat of the last two years (2021 and 2022).

 

In addition to flying to its record 55 destinations in Brazil, LATAM is currently the company that most connects the country with the world, with direct flights to 21 international destinations (on 28 routes operated from the airports of São Paulo/Guarulhos, Rio de Janeiro/Galeão, Brasília, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Florianópolis and Fortaleza) and connecting flights to 67 other destinations in all continents, except Asia.

 

In 2023, LATAM is responsible for 64%¹ of passengers on international flights in Brazil, according to ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency), having inaugurated the Porto Alegre-Santiago and Brasília-Lima routes. Later this year, it will start the Foz do Iguaçu-Lima, Santiago-Melbourne, Lima-Aruba, Guarulhos-Johannesburg and Guarulhos-Los Angeles routes, the latter being the first effective delivery in the Brazilian market of its Joint Venture with Delta Air Lines.
