LATAM Airlines fleet modernization and connectivity

Overview

LATAM Airlines has entered a partnership with space solutions provider SES to equip more than 60 Airbus and Embraer aircraft with next-generation multi-orbit satellite connectivity. The upgrade utilizes an electronically steered array antenna to provide high-speed internet access across the carrier’s growing fleet.

Building on this connectivity initiative, the airline announced a broader modernization strategy involving over $25 million for satellite installations and approximately $505 million in financing to incorporate 11 next-generation aircraft during the second half of 2026. A significant portion of this funding, roughly $400 million, is tied to sustainability goals through interest rate incentives linked to CO2 emission reductions. LATAM expects its total fleet to exceed 410 aircraft by the end of 2026.
