In cargo logistics, the route provides dedicated belly-hold freight volume of up to 55 weekly tons outbound from Guarulhos and 36 tons on the inbound leg, reducing supply chain transit times by at least eight hours by bypassing European trucking connections. Beyond high-value components and industrial manufacturing freight, the widebody operation will provide vital cold-chain capacity for pharmaceutical active ingredients and temperature-sensitive medical supplies, following a 150% year-on-year surge in pharmaceutical imports carried into Brazil by LATAM’s cargo units between January and July 2026.
