LA-based latam Cargo has positioned itself as leaders in flower transportation from Latin America with the incorporation of a Boeing 767-300BCF, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
This cargo aircraft is the 18th in their joint fleet of cargo planes, and will allow them to increase their presence in the export and import markets across the region.
In line with this, two of the markets in which the LATAM Cargo will use this new capacity are the flower export markets of Colombia and Ecuador, the company said.
With the incorporation of this new cargo aircraft, the group has been able to add seven new frequencies departing from Quito, Bogota, and Medellin, thus increasing the capacity offered to customers of the floriculture sector by 20 per cent.
Since 2019, LATAM Cargo has tripled its operations from Medellin and Bogota, going from operating 12 weekly flights in 2019 to 35 in 2023. In the case of Ecuador, the group's presence has grown by 131 per cent since 2019, with 13 weekly departures from Quito in that year, which will rise to nearly 30 during this year.
