LATAM Cargo has commenced a new cargo route from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to Curitiba, Brazil.

The new route will start with two frequencies per week from Amsterdam, primarily transporting pharmaceutical products and general cargo.

The cargo group says the route is aimed at strengthening connectivity between Europe and South America while reducing transportation time through a more direct alternative, and providing enhanced capacity for clients.

LATAM Cargo now offers a direct service, allowing customers to ship their cargo to Curitiba without the need for intermediate stops, thanks to the flexibility offered by its fleet of Boeing 767 freighters.

Gudny Genskowsky, vice president of network and alliances at LATAM Cargo, said: “At LATAM Cargo, we are constantly reviewing our cargo itinerary, always seeking new opportunities to benefit our customers.

“In this context, the opening of this route is part of an initiative that will enable us to provide a more direct and efficient service to Curitiba from Europe.”
