Brazilian full-service scheduled carrier and the country’s LATAM affiliate, operating an extensive domestic network alongside international services from São Paulo and other major Brazilian cities.
About LATAM Airlines Brasil
LATAM Airlines Brasil is the Brazilian airline within LATAM Airlines Group and retains the JJ IATA code and TAM ICAO code associated with its former TAM identity. Its origins date to 1961, while the modern carrier developed through TAM’s expansion and the subsequent combination of TAM and Chile’s LAN Airlines, which created LATAM Airlines Group.
São Paulo is the airline’s principal hub, with Guarulhos serving as its main international gateway and Congonhas handling substantial domestic traffic. Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Manaus and Curitiba are also important departure points. The airline operates 536 routes serving 123 destinations across 16 countries, combining extensive coverage within Brazil with services elsewhere in South America and selected long-haul markets.
Aircraft associated with the airline’s operations include Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340 variants, Boeing 747-400, 767-300 and 777 aircraft, and ATR 42 and ATR 72 turboprops. The active passenger operation is centered on Airbus narrow-body aircraft for domestic and regional flying, with Boeing wide-bodies used on longer routes. Cabin products vary by aircraft and may include Economy, Premium Economy or Premium Business.
LATAM Airlines Brasil is not currently a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, having left Oneworld in 2020 as part of the wider LATAM group’s strategic changes. Its loyalty programme is LATAM Pass, through which members can earn and redeem points on eligible LATAM flights and with participating partners, subject to fare and programme rules.
The airline’s principal strength is the breadth of its Brazilian network, which supports connections between major commercial centers and regional destinations through several hubs. The size and complexity of that operation can also produce variable connection experiences during disruption, particularly at busy São Paulo airports. Travellers should confirm which São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro airport appears on each segment before booking onward transport or separate tickets.
Good to know
Flying with LATAM Airlines Brasil — what to expect
Check the Airport
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro each have multiple commercial airports. Confirm the airport code for every segment, especially when arranging connections or ground transport.
Fare-Based Baggage
Checked baggage and some other benefits depend on the fare family, route and cabin purchased. Review the allowance shown in your booking rather than assuming every Economy ticket includes a checked bag.
Cabins Vary
Domestic narrow-body flights and long-haul wide-body services offer different seats and cabin products. Premium Economy is generally a regional product, while Premium Business is offered on eligible long-haul aircraft.
Allow Connection Time
Build a sensible buffer at major hubs such as São Paulo and Brasília, particularly when changing terminals, airports or travelling on separate tickets. Separate bookings may not receive through-checked baggage or disruption protection.
LATAM Pass Benefits
LATAM Pass members can earn points and may receive benefits according to their status and fare. Add the membership number before travel and retain boarding passes until points have posted.
