And the network operated by LATAM Paraguay:

These are the routes LATAM currently operates in Argentina:

On the other hand, this is Aerolíneas Argentinas’ domestic network:

The scope of the agreement excludes the Chilean of the LATAM Group, as clarified in the official statement. Sources close to the matter noted that this is due to restrictions imposed by competition authorities following the merger between LAN and TAM.

The agreements will also allow engers of both airlines to earn and redeem miles or points through their frequent flyer programs, LATAM and Aerolíneas Plus, encoming 48 million LATAM and over 4 million Aerolíneas Argentinas .

A key point in this matter is that the loyalty program partnership is not limited to routes under the codeshare agreement but extends to all independently operated routes by both airlines. For example, a enger flying between Lima and Miami with LATAM can choose to earn miles with their Aerolíneas Plus hip, and similarly, one traveling between Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro with Aerolíneas Argentinas can opt to earn miles with LATAM .

«Travel options are being expanded for customers, reaching multiple destinations in Argentina and the region. These agreements provide greater benefits thanks to the extensive network of destinations offered by Aerolíneas Argentinas, which strengthens LATAM Group’s connectivity in the region,» stated Soledad Berrios, Director of Strategic Alliances for LATAM Group.

Leandro Serino, Manager of Network Planning, Schedules, and Alliances at Aerolíneas Argentinas, highlighted that «this agreement will allow us to strengthen our Aerolíneas Plus program and expand the range of destinations in the region for our engers, as well as give LATAM customers the opportunity to take advantage of the full offering of Aerolíneas Argentinas’ domestic flights.»

The agreement, the two companies noted in a t statement, also aims to facilitate a more seamless travel experience, particularly for engers connecting between South American destinations. However, the codeshare agreements are subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities, and its implementation is expected in a few months.
