LATAM Airlines Group is Latin America’s leading airline group with one of the largest route networks in the world. LATAM currently offers services to 145 destinations in 26 countries, including six domestic markets in Latin America – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru – in addition to international operations in Latin America, Europe, the United States, the Caribbean, Oceania, Africa and Asia.
Earlier this week, LATAM announced that it has signed a loyalty program agreement with Delta that will enable reciprocal frequent flyer benefits, starting April 1, 2020. Once the agreement is implemented, LATAM Pass members will be able to accrue and redeem miles on Delta flights across its network of over 300 destinations worldwide. Likewise, Delta SkyMiles members will be able to earn and use miles on LATAM flights to 145 destinations in 26 countries across five continents. The carriers are also working to expand reciprocal lounge access benefits to more airports in the Americas and establish mutual top tier recognition during the first half of 2020.
Said Roberto Alvo, Chief Commercial Officer of the LATAM Airlines Group: “With this frequent flyer agreement and codeshares, LATAM and its affiliates can now offer customers some of the first tangible benefits that the framework agreement with Delta promises to deliver.” Continued Alvo in a prepared statement: “Today, customers can already take advantage of industry leading connectivity between North and South America, as we continue to advance on our path to creating the best passenger experience and route network on the continent.”
These changes are part of the ongoing work to implement the framework agreement announced by LATAM and Delta in September 2019, which includes a proposed strategic alliance of the carriers’ highly complementary route networks and provide customers with a seamless travel experience and industry leading connectivity in the Americas, serving over 435 destinations worldwide, subject to regulatory approvals.
