LATAM Airlines Brasil will begin operating the Embraer E195-E2 on domestic services in Brazil from late November, adding four new destinations and eight routes in the first phase of its rollout. The initial network will centre on São Paulo/Guarulhos and include new services from Brasília, Curitiba and Porto Alegre, as the carrier expands use of the smaller jet for thinner markets and higher-frequency flying.
The first destinations to be added are Cabo Frio, Ji-Paraná, Macaé and Rondonópolis. Planned routes include Guarulhos to Rondonópolis, Ji-Paraná, Cabo Frio and Macaé, as well as Brasília to Ribeirão Preto, Curitiba to Londrina and Cuiabá, and Porto Alegre to Viracopos. LATAM will also raise frequencies on several existing domestic sectors, including services linking Guarulhos with Palmas, Uberlândia, Cascavel and Uberaba, and routes between Curitiba and both Rio de Janeiro-Galeão and Porto Alegre.
Sales open on 5 August, with flights due to start on 30 November and the first phase running through March 2027. LATAM plans to induct up to 14 E195-E2 aircraft in this opening stage, with a possible second phase in 2027 that could extend the network to as many as 18 additional destinations. The airline expects the expansion to take its Brazilian domestic network to 67 destinations, the largest in its history.
