Designer Pedro Lourenço developed the uniforms for both the flight and ground crews of LATAM Airlines, creating new designs that combine passion and elegance.
LATAM Airlines is the first company in Latin America to offer flights on the Airbus A350 XWB and Boeing 787, which are both among the world’s most modern aircraft.
The interior design of the LATAM Airlines fleet’s cabins display a distinctly Latin American flair. The richness of the tropical jungle in the Amazon can be found in elements of the décor, and the colors and textures of the fabrics invoke the landscapes of our continent.
