SOUTH American carrier LATAM Airlines Group has signed new codeshare agreements with pending-equity owner Delta Air Lines as the Santiago-based airline progresses with a plan to align closely with Delta.
At the same time, LATAM announced plans to discontinue its codeshare deal with American Airlines on January 31, 2020, following news in September that Delta intends to acquire 20 per cent of LATAM for US$1.9 billion.
Now LATAM says its affiliates in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador have signed codeshare deals with Delta that will allow connections between those countries and the US, starting in the first quarter of 2020, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The codeshares remain subject to regulatory approval, LATAM says, adding that it intends to establish a codeshare agreement linking its subsidiaries in Chile and Brazil with Delta.
During a recent interview with Air Cargo News, the airline said that its codeshare with Delta included a chapter on cargo.
