Recent international service
The primary LATAM Airlines-operated flight, which was registered as LA-2482, departed Lima, Peru on October 29. The flight departed on time, leaving the airport at around 12:00 local time on October 29. The flight was scheduled to land in Atlanta at roughly 20:00 local time. Nonetheless, the initial operation landed barely sooner than scheduled at 19:45 local time.
This initial flight is a component of the airline’s newly launched service that connects Lima to Atlanta 3 times every week. LATAM utilizes one among its Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. This aircraft variant allows 221 passengers to travel on this route, broken down into two sections. The premium business class holds 30 passengers, complete with flatbed seats. The opposite section is an ordinary economy class which holds 191 passengers. The primary service was flown by the aircraft registered as CC-CXG, a Boeing 767 that’s just over 15 years old.

The three,177-mile return flight for this service, which is registered as LA-2483, was also set to start on October 29. The flight departed from Atlanta about quarter-hour later than its scheduled departure, leaving the airport at roughly 00:05 local time on October 30 as an alternative of 23:45 local time on October 29. The flight arrived in Lima barely sooner than scheduled and landed at around 5:35 local time.
Partnership with Delta Air Lines
This route is an element of the airline’s extensive partnership with Delta Air Lines. Because the Atlanta-based airline purchased a 20% stake in Latam in 2019, the 2 airlines have had a robust partnership and a continued Joint Enterprise Agreement.
The brand new service connecting Lima and Atlanta offered by LATAM directly complements Delta Air Lines’ service. Delta operates a day by day service between Atlanta and Lima, which is registered as DL-150 and DL-151. Nonetheless, Delta operates this service with one among its Airbus A350 aircraft as an alternative of the Boeing 767 as LATAM does.

Delta and LATAM have announced several other routes previously several months. Initially, Latam was set to start a Los Angeles-Sao Paulo route and an Orlando-Bogota route, starting in July. Nonetheless, this Los Angeles-Sao Paulo route was later postponed until August.
As well as, the partnership announced several other recent routes, all starting within the second half of 2023. Also starting on October 29 was a brand new route connecting Miami to Medellín. LATAM began this day by day service, which was registered as LA-4408 and LA-4409.
LATAM also announced a flight connecting Atlanta to Bogotá. Delta already operates a day by day service between the 2 cities as DL-980 and DL-981. This service began on October 29 as well.
LATAM was not the one leg of the partnership to start recent operations, as Delta announced it might begin a route connecting Atlanta to Cartagena. This route, which is currently unserved, is about to start on December 22. The service, which is registered as DL-1851 and DL-1852, will operate 3 times weekly.
