LATAM Airlines has introduced a new service that brings added convenience to international travelers: a global eSIM offering with prepaid mobile data plans. In partnership with the technology provider Gigs, LATAM now offers eSIM cards that allow passengers to stay connected without the need to purchase local SIM cards or incur costly roaming fees.
The eSIM service can be activated instantly through a QR code, giving travelers access to mobile data in over 160 countries. This initiative marks LATAM as the first airline in Latin America to integrate this kind of connectivity product into its travel ecosystem.
Travelers can purchase data packages directly through LATAM’s e-commerce platform or via the LATAM app. The available plans are flexible, offering data-only coverage tailored for short-term or long-term stays, whether travelers need connectivity in one country or multiple regions. It’s ideal for browsing, navigation, messaging, and using travel apps abroad.
This move aligns with LATAM’s broader digital transformation and customer experience strategy, which includes expanding onboard Wi-Fi and streamlining services through its mobile platform. By offering eSIMs, LATAM adds value to the travel journey even before the flight begins.
As international travel rebounds, connectivity has become a top priority for leisure and business travelers alike. LATAM’s eSIM offering responds to this demand with a practical, cost-effective solution that enhances passenger independence and digital access worldwide.
This new service is expected to boost ancillary revenue while strengthening customer loyalty through a more complete and tech-savvy travel experience. With mobile data now just a QR scan away, LATAM is positioning itself not just as an airline, but as a comprehensive travel companion in the digital age.
