Delta added new frequencies from Atlanta to the Brazilian hubs of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo on Dec. 17, resuming a seasonal route to Rio and a second weekly flight to São Paulo, the country’s financial hub.
The increased access for Atlanta travelers came as the partners announced that LATAM would launch the first connection between Los Angeles International Airport and Sao Paulo, a thrice-weekly flight that will give Brazilians easier access to Delta’s connections around the West Coast of the United States.
