Starting today (03/11), LATAM customers can purchase tickets on codeshare flights between Aeromexico and LATAM Colombia and LATAM Brazil.
LATAM Brasil engers will be able to choose from 39 destinations on the Aeromexico network, in addition to Mexico City, reaching more destinations such as Cancún, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana, among others.
Likewise, Aeromexico engers will be able to fly with LATAM Airlines Colombia to up to 14 destinations departing from Bogotá and Medellín and connecting in Cali and Cartagena. Also on LATAM Brazil, they will be able to fly to up to 40 destinations, in addition to São Paulo/Guarulhos, reaching destinations such as Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, among others.
In addition, the company signed a frequent flyer reciprocal benefit agreement. Once the agreement is implemented, LATAM customers will be able to accumulate points and redeem Aeromexico flights in its network of around 70 destinations around the world. Likewise, Club Premier will be able to use their miles on the LATAM network of destinations.
As of December 2020, LATAM will move its operations at Benito Juárez International Airport, in Mexico City, from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, from where Aeromexico serves approximately 70 destinations in Mexico and the world, facilitating more fluid connections between the flights of both companies.
LATAM Business customers and LATAM customers in the Black Signature, Black and Platinum categories will also have access to the Aeromexico VIP lounge in Terminal 2. In contrast, Club Premier customers will have access to the LATAM VIP lounge in Bogotá.
Grupo LATAM and Aeromexico are working to expand the benefits of reciprocal lounge access to more airports in South America and Mexico, in addition to establishing elite enger recognition of their frequent flyer programs during 2021.
“These agreements are a sign of LATAM's long-term commitment to enabling more connectivity in Latin America. With Aeromexico, we share a ion for service and innovation. We are committed to offering a unique experience to our customers across the continent.” says Marty St. George, Commercial Vice President of the LATAM Airlines Group.
“This agreement is a direct response to our customers' needs, offering better connectivity and service options. With LATAM, Aeromexico has a new partner with shared values, which prioritizes the safety and health of its customers and employees”, adds Nicolas Ferri, Commercial Vice President of Aeromexico.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Aeromexico and the LATAM Group have strengthened their protocols to guarantee the safety of their customers and employees. Aeromexico has a Health and Hygiene Management System (SGSH) that applies the highest standards in the sector, guaranteeing a clean environment at all stages of travel with the airline, such as constant cleaning of its entire fleet, mandatory use of face masks, antibacterial gel, case identification protocols, among others.
The LATAM Group, in turn, implements a comprehensive security strategy in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the health authorities of the countries where it operates and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which highlights the filters of HEPA air throughout the fleet, innovation in the self-service and digital channels, the mandatory use of a mask and the availability of alcohol gel at counters and on the aircraft, among other measures.
The company was the first in Latin America to develop “in company” an autonomous robot for cleaning aircraft with ultraviolet (UV) rays – a method that eliminates up to 99,9% of viruses and bacteria on board. The robot was 100% created by the company in Brazil, at its Maintenance Center (MRO) in São Carlos (SP).
