LATAM Cargo is to launch a new direct cargo route from Brussels to São José dos Campos.

Operations will begin on October 2, 2025, with a weekly frequency and will be expanded to two weekly flights starting in the winter season.

This new route represents a strategic milestone in the LATAM group’s cargo network. Until now, cargo with a final destination in São José dos Campos had to arrive at alternative airports in Brazil, such as Guarulhos or Viracopos, and then complete the journey by land. With this new connection, LATAM Cargo offers its European customers a more efficient, competitive, and reliable solution, reducing transit times and associated costs.

“With this new route, we reinforce our position as the cargo operator with the most robust and flexible network between Europe and South America. São José dos Campos is a key industrial hub, and our value proposition aims to directly meet customer needs by providing more agile and competitive transport solutions,” said Matias Cortina, commercial cargo director for Europe at LATAM Airlines Group.

The route is projected to move around 50 tonnes of cargo per week, mainly industrial products, auto parts, consumer goods, and general cargo.

The route is in addition to the recently announced expansion plan, which includes an increase of 15 weekly frequencies between Europe and South America.
