'''LATAM Cargo Chile''' (formerly ''LAN Cargo S.A.'') is a [[cargo airline]] based in [[Santiago]], [[Chile]] and the freight subsidiary of the [[LATAM Airlines Group]]. It is operating cargo flights within [[South America]], to [[Europe]] and [[North America]] from its hubs at [[Miami International Airport]] and [[Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport]].<ref name="FI">{{cite news|title= Directory: World Airlines|work=[[Flight International]]|page=104|date=2007-04-03}}</ref>

It is a sister company of [[LATAM Cargo Brasil]] and [[LATAM Cargo Colombia]].

==History==
The airline was formed on May 22, 1970, after the cargo and passenger business of [[LAN-Chile]] was separated.

In 1998, it was based on the original cargo divisions of [[LAN-Chile]], [[Ladeco]], and [[Fast Air Carrier]]. It also worked closely with the other cargo airlines in the group like [[ABSA Cargo Airline]], [[Florida West International Airways]] and [[Mas Air]].<ref name="FI"/> LAN Cargo was rebranded to ''LATAM Cargo Chile'' as part of the merger of its parent [[LAN Airlines]] with [[TAM Linhas Aéreas]] to form [[LATAM Airlines Group]] during 2016.

During the global [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the airline flew numerous additional routes on an ad-hoc basis, especially in May 2020 and after.
