These enhancements are set to strengthen flower exports from Colombia and Ecuador to one of the main US destinations for South American floriculture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1468\">\u201cThis expansion of our cargo network reflects LATAM Group\u2019s long-term commitment to the floriculture sector in Colombia and Ecuador. We are proud to support our cargo customers with flexible solutions tailored to their needs. Strengthening this key route adds over 100 tonnes of additional cargo capacity to the US West Coast and reaffirms LATAM\u2019s commitment to the region,\u201d said Santiago Alvarez, chief commercial officer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latamcargo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LATAM Cargo Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1866\">With a dedicated freighter fleet and a logistics operation built to support the high demands of the flower industry year-round, LATAM continues to consolidate its leadership in transporting perishables from South America to North America.
