Over the 21 days of the 2026 Mother\u2019s Day season, LATAM Group\u2019s cargo subsidiaries transported 24,400 tons of fresh flowers from Colombia and Ecuador to key markets across three continents, in a season defined by planning and operational precision.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May, 2026.\u2013 <\/em>LATAM Group, through its cargo subsidiaries, closed the 2026 Mother\u2019s Day season having transported <\/strong>24,400<\/strong> tons<\/strong> of flowers from South America. The result consolidates the company\u2019s leadership for the fourth consecutive year in floral air cargo from the region<\/strong>, built on three pillars the company has strengthened season after season: commercial foresight, capacity planning, and operational coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe prior alignment between commercial and operational teams means that certainty is not ours alone: it belongs to the producer who knows their product will arrive on time and in optimal condition, and to the importer who can make commercial commitments backed by real capacity,\u201d said Claudio Torres Faini, International Commercial Director for South America, LATAM Cargo.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation was coordinated from three origin airports \u2014 Bogot\u00e1, Quito, and Medell\u00edn \u2014 encompassing more than 430 dedicated flights for the season. To sustain this standard, ground crew staffing more than doubled compared to a regular week, reinforcing ramp, warehouse, and supervisory teams across all three hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An operation planned in advance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Close collaboration with growers and exporters was critical. Having volume data available several days in advance made it possible to size the required resources at every point in the supply chain \u2014 from cargo receipt at the warehouse to the cut-off of each flight frequency \u2014 ensuring a best-in-class service standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The volume transported is equivalent to approximately 560 million stems. To put that figure into perspective: throughout the 21 days of the season, more than 300 stems per second departed South America<\/strong> bound for destination markets across three continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth across three continents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The United States accounted for the largest share of volume, in line with the historical demand structure. Dynamic growth was also recorded outside that corridor: Oceania, Europe, Chile, and Brazil all posted notable gains during the season \u2014 a signal that demand for fresh flowers from Colombia and Ecuador continues to expand into less traditional consumer markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
