DALLAS — Starting October 27, LATAM Cargo (LA), the largest cargo airline group in Latin America, will significantly expand its operations at Brussels Airport (BRU) by tripling its flights from four to twelve per week. 

This expansion solidifies BRU as LA's primary European cargo hub, with flights being serviced by Boeing 767F aircraft.

The airline will primarily transport flowers from Ecuador to Europe. At the same time, return flights will carry pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, and other critical goods to various Latin American destinations, including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile.

Brussels Airport is known as a leading hub for pharmaceutical logistics. The airport boasts extensive temperature-controlled facilities, making it an ideal location for handling time-sensitive products like medicines.

Further, Brussels has become a vital global link between pharmaceutical research, production, and healthcare facilities.

In line with sustainability efforts, LA will also use the fuel-efficient Boeing 767F aircraft, which has a capacity of 60 tons and aims to maximize the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with the airport's support.
