LATAM Cargo to expand flower handling capacity in Bogota

LATAM Cargo is adding a new cargo facility in Bogota as it targets growth in its flower volumes.

The new 46,414 sq ft facility at El Dorado International Airport will triple the carrier’s footprint in Bogota and “provide greater agility and fluidity” for domestic and international shipments.

The site provides direct connectivity between trucks and aircraft. The facility will also expand LATAM’s cold storage capacity by approximately 20% to support the growth of the flower export market, where the carrier already holds a 35% market share.

“This investment is essential to leverage the airline’s future growth plans in the Colombian market and represents a renewed vote of confidence by LATAM Group in the country, maintaining a long-term perspective that goes well beyond an economic cycle or a single season,” said Santiago Álvarez, chief commercial officer of LATAM Cargo Group.
