LATAM Cargo has launched a weekly service from Miami, US, to Florianopolis using a Boeing 767F aircraft with a 53-tonne capacity. Brazilian exports carried on the route include automotive, metallurgical, food, pharmaceutical and electronic products, among others. The route connects North America with Southern Brazil, as well as offering wider connections to Europe and Asia. Gabriel Oliva, Commercial Vice President — North America, Europe and Asia, LATAM Cargo, says, “This new route will allow us to provide a direct, stable and permanent service between the US and Santa Catarina. As strategic partners, we are constantly evaluating routes that promote international trade, bringing buyers and sellers together with the characteristic speed, attention and logistics excellence of our global services network.”
“We will continue to be focused on offering more origins-destinations for our international and domestic markets in order to be present in our clients’ relevant markets,” adds Kamal Hadad, Vice President of Alliances and Network, LATAM Cargo,
Before the Miami-Florianopolis route was implemented, international cargo entered Brazil through Guarulhos and Viracopos. Hence, it depended on complementary ground transportation in order to reach its final destination.
