oneworld gains key TAM/LATAM Sao Paulo-Johannesburg service link in Southern Hemisphere

Analysis

Brazil's TAM is aiming to launch services in 2016 to Johannesburg, making it only the sixth airline with long haul or transoceanic flights solely within the Southern Hemisphere. TAM will compete with current codeshare partner South African Airways (SAA) on the Sao Paulo-Johannesburg route.
