LATAM leaving OneWorld [30 April 2020]
It’s being reported that Delta will purchase 20% of LATAM. As a result the airline will leave OneWorld (hence the BA connection).

“LATAM will be leaving the OneWorld alliance, but it was not immediately clear whether it would join SkyTeam, the group that includes Delta and its partners.”
I wonder what effect this will have on BA’s Southern America ops. They were never that strong and now losing their partner can’t help.

I really hope they won’t leave within the next 3 months...
I have spent lots of £££ on flights with them them in South America which are part of my plan to keep Gold!

That is such a shame as I travel quite frequently to Brazil and surrounding countries on LATAM. I hope the regulators don't approve the purchase by Delta and instead the JV talks resume with AA - Wishful thinking but you never know.

LATAM are great and pretty disappointed with this - those who want to go MPN I suggest you get cracking. There’s also a new GRU-MPN route coming but I’ll be flying that it seems without any benefits!
Had great trips to MPN/CUZ/PUQ/SCL with LATAM connections and having OneWorld benefits do make a difference.
Nothing lasts forever though
