The Latin American community in North America keeps growing, and airlines are working hard to improve the experience of passengers and cargo moving between the continents. A major step forward has arrived with the approval of a joint venture between Delta Air Lines, LATAM Airlines Group, and their main South American subsidiaries by the US Department of Transportation.
This strategic partnership will allow leading commercial airlines in the United States, Canada, and South America — including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay — to offer more connections, smoother itineraries, and a better overall experience for customers. For families who frequently visit relatives in Latin America, this means more flexible options and fewer travel headaches.
Beyond passenger travel, this agreement will also facilitate the movement of South and Central American products into Canada. Both Delta and LATAM are globally recognized brands committed to innovation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and environmental responsibility. During the pandemic, both airlines maintained a strong customer-first approach, implementing rigorous safety, health, and hygiene protocols while offering flexible travel policies for passengers and prioritizing employee wellbeing.
