Overview
- The Transport Secretariat, which published Disposición 2/2026 on Thursday, authorized Latam's Brazilian unit to run regular passenger and cargo flights between São Paulo and Ushuaia.
- Government and national press report a July 1 start for Latam with four weekly flights and a July 2 launch by Gol with three weekly flights, creating near-daily service.
- A local outlet reported an alternative plan of eight weekly Latam flights with set departure times, a schedule not confirmed in the official notice or by national coverage.
- The direct link lets travelers avoid a Buenos Aires connection and Latam projects more than 12,500 seats to Ushuaia over two months during the winter peak.
- Officials say the approval fits a 2024 open‑skies plan to boost competition, citing record February 2026 passenger counts as justification for adding capacity.
