The service, which began on 1 December, will be halted from 2 February until 30 March, the carrier confirmed in an agents’ advisory.
Passengers will be re-protected via Latam’s daily Sao Paulo-Heathrow route or via Madrid using partner Iberia for the connection to and from the Spanish capital.
Latam blamed “an operational restriction” by UK authorities for the suspension, which applies until the end of the UK winter flying season, shedding doubt over whether it will recommence during what will be the start of the South American winter.
