Finnair and LATAM Airlines Group have entered a new codeshare agreement.
The partnership will offer new destinations for Finnair customers, as LATAM?s flights will be the first to be flown to South America with a Finnair code. The deal will see Finnair?s AY airline code added to LATAM?s transatlantic flights between the former's gateways in Europe and latter's hubs in S?o Paulo and in Santiago.
This includes flights between Finnair?s hub in Helsinki and LATAM?s hubs in S?o Paulo, Brazil, and in Santiago, Chile, via five European gateways: London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Madrid, Barcelona and Milan.
Similarly, LATAM?s LA code will be added to Finnair flights between Helsinki and London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Madrid, Barcelona and Milan.
The new Finnair codeshare flights to S?o Paulo and Santiago are available for sale now for flights starting October 1.
Philip Lewin, Finnair?s head of partnerships and alliances, said: ?We are excited to be able to offer these great new destinations for our customers. We also welcome LATAM customers to explore everything Helsinki and Finnair have to offer.?
Soledad Berrios, LATAM Airlines group director of strategic alliances, said: ?As part of our commitment to connecting Latin America with the world, this new agreement will offer our passengers easier access to exciting destinations in Finland via Helsinki.
"We also look forward to welcoming Finnair customers onboard and offering them the chance to experience our Latin American hospitality.?
