LATAM Airlines will arrive in Portugal on September 3rd with the inauguration of a route connecting Lisboa and São Paulo, in Brazil. The connection will have a frequency of five flights per week. This route is part of an international expansion plan by the Latin American airline, which already runs other operations in Europe: Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, London, Frankfurt, Rome and Milan.

"We continue to offer new and unmatched travel options, linking Latin America with the world as never before," said Enrique Cueto, LATAM Airlines Group CEO, in a press release. "Over the last five years, LATAM has not only launched 30 new routes, an unprecedented number - including new destinations in Europe, North America and Oceania - but has also continued to strengthen existing routes with more frequencies and connection options." From São Paulo, LATAM Airlines flies to more than 120 Latin American destinations.
