LATAM Airlines will launch thrice-weekly flights between So Paulo GRU and Cape Town CPT from September 2026.
The flights will be operated on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. This marks the arrival of the first South American carrier to fly to CPT. LATAM currently flies five times a week from GRU to Johannesburg.
James Vos , Cape Towns MMC for Economic Development and Tourism, described the new route as a massive win for tourism, trade and investment.
