LATAM has now got a new abode at Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport. TAM and LAN Airlines, both operating under LATAM Group, would henceforth be conducting their international operations from the new Terminal 3 at the airport.

TAM, which was conducting its domestic operations from Terminal 1, has now moved to Terminal 2 and will be operating domestic flights out of here. The airport authorities said that the move is aimed at providing more convenience and greater comfort to the passengers.
 
The move is also aimed at making Guarulhos International Airport as the LATAM Airlines Group’s biggest and prominent international hub.

A spokesperson of the LATAM Airlines Group said that both TAM and LAN Airlines carefully planned their transitions without bringing inconvenience to the passengers or disturbing their scheduled arrivals and departures.

During the first stage, the long-haul flights operations to/from North America and Europe were transferred from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3. The second phase involved shifting of short-haul flights operations to/from South American destinations. The last leg saw TAM transferring its domestic flight operations from Terminal 1 to Wing D of Terminal 2.

The transition process included shifting of entire back-office structure, self-service totems, stores for rescheduling and purchasing tickets, and baggage and check-in operations. The recheck-in area has now been shifted to Terminal 2 and also in Terminal 3 (lower level).

Passengers of both the airlines will now find it easier to get access to the airport because the car park will be directly connecting to the new terminal.
