Boeing 767 BCF Renews LATAM Cargo Fleet

DALLAS — Last week, LATAM group (LA) announced the addition of a new Boeing 767 BCF to its fleet.

This development fits into LA's plan to run a more modern and effective cargo fleet. This Boeing 767 BCF is among the company's newest cargo planes, having just been in service for 11 years.

LATAM Cargo's network covers six domestic markets in Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, and extends internationally to regions such as Latin America, Europe, the United States, the Caribbean, Oceania, and Africa.

The airline offers a variety of services tailored to different types of cargo, including high-value items, pharmaceuticals, healthcare products, and live animals. LA provides specialized services for transporting sensitive and valuable shipments, ensuring compliance with international regulations and maintaining high standards of safety and integrity.

For domestic operations, LA has introduced the "Reservado" service in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, which allows customers to schedule shipments with defined flights and processes. This service is particularly used for transporting valuable cargo, live animals, and equipment for events.

Fleet Growth Plan

Gudny Genskowsky, Senior Vice President of Cargo Network and Alliances at LATAM, said, "Adding a new Boeing 767 BCF to the fleet, in line with our strategy to renew the fleet with younger and more efficient aircraft, will allow us to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and continue offering a more reliable and sustainable service to our customers."

The LATAM group unveiled a proposal in 2021 to expand its cargo fleet, adding eight passenger-to-cargo converted aircraft and boosting cargo capacity by more than 70% over pre-pandemic levels.

With 21 Boeing 767 freighters, LA now has the largest cargo business in the area, connecting 33 countries and 166 destinations, 18 of which are dedicated to cargo.

57 Boeing passenger planes (models 767, 777, and 787) and 262 Airbus aircraft (types A319, A320, A320neo, A321, and A321neo) make up the LATAM group's current fleet of 340 aircraft.

LATAM Cargo's network is supported by an interactive tool that allows users to explore routes and schedules, providing flexibility and convenience for cargo planning.
