Amid the second wave of coronavirus and the resulting restrictions in the region to moderate the number of infections, Latam Airlines said that due to current health protocols in both Argentina and neighboring countries, it had to readjust its itinerary and cancel part of its operation to Miami and other destinations scheduled for June.

“We had to cancel part of the June itinerary, adjusting it to what the ANAC approved. Also, the rescheduling of passengers with last year’s itinerary is added, along with the sales we had for this month and limitations from the rest of the countries in the region, ”Latin sources told this media.

In this sense, they claimed that of the three connection centers that the airline has, including San Pablo, Santiago de Chile and Lima, the first two have restrictions.
