LATAM Airlines ranks among the 12 airlines with the largest fleets in the world
The company will add more than 40 aircraft this year, including its first Embraer planes to strengthen its domestic network in Brazil
LATAM Airlines Group continues to advance its growth and fleet modernization plan. By the end of 2025, the group had reached 371 aircraft, after adding 26 new planes during the year, all state-of-the-art models, positioning itself among the 12 airlines with the largest fleets in the world.
The expansion will continue in 2026, when LATAM Airlines projects reaching 410 aircraft with the arrival of 41 new planes. These include the first Embraer aircraft to be operated by the group, intended to strengthen the domestic network in Brazil and provide greater operational flexibility in that market.
In 2027, the company expects to add 27 additional aircraft, including the first Airbus XLR, a model that will allow it to extend its range on medium-haul routes.
“This growth not only responds to a greater need for connectivity both within the region and with other international markets, but also to our conviction that the future of aviation must be more efficient and sustainable. Each new aircraft we will be incorporating will feature state-of-the-art technology that will allow us to reduce our emissions, enabling us to make concrete progress on our roadmap for net-zero emissions by 2050,” stated Sebastián Acuto, Director of Fleet and Projects at LATAM Airlines Group.
2030 Goal: More than 50% of the fleet will be state-of-the-art.
By the end of the decade, LATAM Airlines plans to add more than 130 new aircraft from various manufacturers. With this addition, it projects that more than 50% of its fleet – at least 200 aircraft – will consist of state-of-the-art models by 2030.
These aircraft allow for a reduction of between 20% and 25% in CO2 emissions compared to previous models, in addition to optimizing fuel consumption, according to data from their manufacturers.
In this way, LATAM Airlines consolidates one of the largest and most modern fleets in the region and reinforces its competitive position, combining expansion, efficiency and a clear roadmap towards net zero emissions by 2050
