LATAM group recently announced the addition of a new Boeing 767 BCF to its fleet. This addition is part of LATAM’s strategy to operate with a more efficient and modern cargo fleet. At just 11 years old, this Boeing 767 BCF is one of the youngest cargo aircraft in the company.

“Adding a new Boeing 767 BCF to the fleet, in line with our strategy to renew the fleet with younger and more efficient aircraft, will allow us to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and continue offering a more reliable and sustainable service to our customers,” said Gudny Genskowsky, Senior Vice President of Cargo Network and Alliances at LATAM.
