A year-and-a-half after suspending flights to Boston, LATAM Brasil declared that beginning in October, the route will resume. With the return of the Boston route, LATAM Brasil will service all four American destinations that it served before the COVID-19 pandemic. From Guarulhos, the airline also flies to (MIA), New York (JFK), and Orlando (MCO). Aline Mafra, Director of Sales and Marketing, LATAM Brasil, told,
“In July, we brought back our eight destinations in Europe and are now close to restarting service to our four destinations in the United States. As we predicted from the start of the pandemic, the return of the international routes would arrive at a different rate from the domestic market. The most important thing is that this is occurring sustainably, as people restart their plans for longer distanced international travel.”
The Guarulhos – Boston flight will operate 3 times weekly, on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday onboard the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. The aircraft seats 300 passengers in a three-cabin configuration, 30 Premium Business seats, 57 Economy+ seats, and 213 economy seats.
