LATAM Airlines Brasil, formerly TAM Linhas Aéreas,[3][4] is the Brazilian brand of LATAM Airlines Group operating international and domestic flights from hubs in Brasília, Fortaleza, and São Paulo.[5] According to the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC), between January and December 2023, LATAM had 37.8% of the domestic, and 18.2% of the international market share in terms of passenger-kilometers flown,[6] making it the largest domestic and largest international airline in Brazil.
TAM Linhas Aéreas was Brazil's and Latin America's largest airline before the takeover by Chilean airline LAN Airlines.[7][8] Its headquarters were in São Paulo,[9] operating scheduled services to destinations within Brazil, as well as international flights to Europe and other parts of North and South America. Shares in the company were traded on the São Paulo Exchange (BM&F Bovespa) and New York Stock Exchange as "TAM".[10] Prior to the merger with LAN, the company closed its capital, transferring its shares to LATAM Airlines Group. In August 2015, it was announced that the two airlines would fully rebrand as LATAM, with one livery to be applied on all aircraft by 2018.[11][12] The airline withdrew from the Star Alliance and joined Oneworld, effective from March 31, 2014.[13] The carrier left Oneworld on May 1, 2020.[14]
The word "TAM" is an acronym for "Transportes Aéreos Marília", which dates back to the company's origins as a regional aviation company founded in Marília, in the state of São Paulo.
