Delta Air Lines and LATAM Airlines say their joint venture carried 17.4 million passengers between October 2022 and July 2026. In a four-year update published on 5 October, the partners reported 83,000 flights and 20.8 million seats across the markets covered by their agreement.
The joint network now spans 28 routes linking North and South America. Delta and LATAM say combined capacity in 2026 is approximately 31% higher than in 2023. The comparison is the airlines’ own, and the release does not by itself establish that every market or route grew at the same rate.
The partners point to links including São Paulo–Los Angeles, Bogotá–Orlando and Lima–Salt Lake City. They also describe shared customer benefits through Delta SkyMiles and LATAM Pass, with eligibility varying by status and cabin. Baggage tracking and shared-terminal arrangements are among the operational areas they say they have worked to align.
For passengers, the network can create more connections between cities on both continents. For airport and airline teams, the partnership’s scale puts pressure on transfer handling and consistent service across different carriers and hubs. The reported growth shows the venture’s reach, while the passenger experience still depends on how well those connections work in practice.
