For the first time ever, Bostonians will be able to fly nonstop from Logan International Airport to Brazil starting next year.
Chile-based LATAM Airlines Group S.A. said on Tuesday that it will offer nonstop flights from Boston to its hub in São Paulo, the most populated city in the southern hemisphere with over 12 million residents. Massachusetts is home to the second largest foreign born Brazilian population in the United States with over 60,000 residents.

LATAM said it plans to offer flights from Boston Logan International Airport by next summer, subject to regulatory approval. The airline also announced that it will fly to Rome from São Paulo starting in March 2018…
