LATAM Airlines Brasil, the Brazilian subsidiary of the LATAM Airlines Group - Latin America's largest airline - has expanded its unilateral codeshare partnership with South African regional carrier, Airlink. This enhanced agreement now includes four additional destinations for connecting flights through Johannesburg, South Africa. These new destinations are Harare (Zimbabwe), Maputo (Mozambique), Windhoek (Namibia), and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).
This extended codeshare builds on the initial agreement launched in November 2024. Under the agreement, LATAM Airlines can offer flights operated by Airlink under LATAM's flight codes, improving travel connectivity throughout South Africa. The initial codeshare covered key domestic routes within South Africa from Johannesburg, including Cape Town, Durban, Hoedspruit, and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
Earlier, in May 2023, LATAM Brasil and Airlink had introduced an interline agreement, allowing LATAM passengers to access over 40 destinations across Africa through Airlink's extensive network. This agreement facilitated smoother connections through Johannesburg, particularly after LATAM launched its São Paulo <> Johannesburg route in September 2023.
LATAM Airlines is currently the only Brazilian carrier operating direct flights to Africa. The airline runs four weekly flights between São Paulo and Johannesburg on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft, offering a 9-hour journey with a capacity of 300 passengers, divided into three classes: 30 in Premium Business, 57 in Premium Economy, and 213 in Economy.
