TAM Inaugurates Flights to New York City

TAM Airlines, the leading domestic and second largest international carrier in Brazil, accomplished its inaugural flight to New York City, four times a week on the Rio de Janeiro-Sao Paulo-New York City service.

TAM has also clinched a codeshare agreement with American Airlines to operate Sao Paulo-New York City nonstop three times a week, on behalf of both partners. TAM will be operating the Airbus A330-200s aircraft on the route.

New York City will be TAM´s second North American and tenth international destination. TAM already serves Miami, Paris, Buenos Aires, Santiago and, through our subsidiary TAM Mercosur, Asuncion, Montevideo, Ciudad del Este, Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Cochabamba.

Servicing New York City is an opportunity for TAM to deliver its top quality products to the US Northeastern market. The codeshare agreement with American Airlines provides comfortable connecting services to and from the destinations already served by TAM in the US.
