LATAM & Brussels Airlines Open Europe up to Brazil
Some airline announcements are all about big numbers and bold claims. This one? It’s refreshingly practical. LATAM Airlines Brasil has teamed up with Brussels Airlines to make getting from Brazil to Europe smoother, simpler, and a lot less “how many tabs do I need open to book this?”
The timing is no coincidence either. The partnership lands just as LATAM prepares to launch its São Paulo–Brussels route in June 2026 — because if you’re opening a new door to Europe, you may as well make sure it leads somewhere useful.
One Ticket, Many Possibilities
Let’s start with the part travellers actually care about: less hassle.
Thanks to this new codeshare, passengers can now book a single ticket from Brazil to 17 European destinations via Brussels. We’re talking seamless connections, one check-in, and baggage that (mercifully) follows you all the way through.
No re-checking, re-printing boarding passes or no mild panic at transfer desks.
From São Paulo, you can now glide into cities like Berlin, Munich, Manchester, Stockholm or Prague — all without turning your journey into a logistical puzzle.

Brussels: The Unexpected Middleman
Brussels might not always be the first city that comes to mind for connections, but that’s kind of the point. It’s efficient, well-positioned, and — crucially — less chaotic than some of Europe’s mega hubs.
Which makes it ideal for smooth onward travel across Germany, France, Scandinavia, Switzerland and Central Europe. Quietly effective, just how a connection should be.
A Smart Expansion (Not Just a Bigger Map)
For LATAM, this isn’t just about adding dots to a route map. It’s part of a broader strategy to expand international reach while doubling down on its dominance in Brazil.
Since 2021, the airline has been steadily rebuilding and growing — increasing domestic coverage and rolling out new international routes. Europe, Africa and the Americas are all in focus for 2026, and this partnership fits neatly into that bigger picture.
Instead of launching dozens of new long-haul routes alone (expensive, complex, mildly stressful), LATAM is doing the smarter thing: partnering with an established European carrier to extend its reach instantly.
Why It Works
Codeshares only really matter when they make life easier — and this one does exactly that.
More destinations, fewer complications, and a journey that feels joined-up from start to finish. For business travellers, that means efficiency. For leisure travellers, it means less time planning and more time actually enjoying the trip.
And for the airlines? A win-win built on shared networks and smarter connectivity.
Because in modern aviation, the best routes aren’t just direct — they’re well connected.
