Joint Venture Between Delta and LATAM

The Joint Venture between LATAM  and Delta seeks to improve travel experiences for passengers and cargo customers. The agreement applies to markets between North America (United States and Canada) and South America (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay), delivering benefits like the joint accumulating of miles/points in frequent flier programs, and faster connections to access more than 300 destinations between the U.S./Canada and South America.

The alliance between LATAM and Delta commenced in 2019, when they announced their first agreement for reciprocal accumulating/exchange of miles/points, shared terminals in New York/JFK,  São Paulo/Guarulhos and Santiago. It includes joint access to 53 Delta VIP lounges Sky Club in the United States and five LATAM lounges in South America, including the new and exclusive Delta Sky Club in Los Ángeles (LAX) and the new LATAM Lounge Santiago in Chile, the biggest in South America.

LATAM Airlines Brazil recently announced their nonstop flights between the cities of São Paulo (Brazil) and Los Ángeles (United States), which will commence in the second quarter of 2023, with three weekly flights. This new route offers passengers access to the corporate market and general market of the United States from Los Angeles, where Delta is the global airline with the largest presence.
