LATAM Cargo has launched services from Europe to the US for the first time, as capacity on the trade has been reduced due to the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n

The airline will offer a twice-weekly service from Frankfurt to Miami. It is expected to carry pharmaceuticals, auto parts and electronic products, among others, from Europe. From Miami, the airline offers links to Lima, Bogota and Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

Figures from Accenture’s Seabury Consulting show that air cargo capacity on the transatlantic westbound has been reduced<\/a><\/strong> by 61% on a year ago, while in the opposite direction there is a 52% reduction.<\/p>\n

This is due to passenger carriers axing services in response to the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n

LATAM Cargo said the new service is part of a series of modifications to its itinerary and operation to increase its transportation capacity and mitigate the decrease in belly supply.<\/p>\n

“After this implementation, LATAM Cargo went from seven to nine weekly frequencies offered between Europe and America, almost doubling capacity compared to the itinerary prior to the pandemic,” the carrier said.<\/p>\n

The other seven frequencies to Europe follow the Quito – Miami – Amsterdam route (this service does not go directly back to the US from Amsterdam).<\/p>\n

“This way, Amsterdam is positioned as the main gateway to the European continent for the exporters of perishable goods in Latin America (Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala and Brazil).<\/p>\n

“The inbound trips for the seven frequencies begin in Frankfurt (Germany) and end in Latin America, positioning this city as the main exit door for medical supplies, electronics, auto parts and general cargo, among other types of goods intended to reach Latin America.”<\/p>\n

Other measures include multiplying cargo capacity between Santiago and Miami by five, going from 6 to 31 weekly frequencies in order to cater for salmon exporters.<\/p>\n
