LATAM Airlines Group denies plans for Venezuelan domestic subsidiary

LATAM Airlines Group said it has no project to launch a subsidiary for domestic flights in Venezuela, rejecting reports that it would operate routes such as Caracas‑Maracaibo or Valencia‑Maracaibo. The airline confirmed its strategy remains focused on expanding international connectivity from its Venezuelan hubs. The company emphasized that its presence will stay limited to international links.

The denial follows public speculation about a modern fleet and efficient model for internal routes, which had generated strong expectations among Venezuelan travelers. LATAM’s clarification underscores its commitment to international market growth rather than entering the domestic segment at this time.
