Rick Scott Announces LATAM Creating 300 Jobs in South Florida

Gov. Rick Scott announced that LATAM Airlines is expanding its operations in South Florida with LAN Cargo building a maintenance facility at Miami International Airport, leading to 300 new jobs and $20 million in additional investments. Scott said part of this expansion came from a meeting with the LATAM CEO during his trade mission in Chile.

LATAM Airlines Groups expansion of its maintenance facility in Miami is great news for families in South Florida, Scott said on Wednesday. Because of our trade mission to Chile, this expansion was made possible. These 300 new jobs will mean that more Floridians are able to provide for their families. We have worked to make Florida the best state in the nation for business, and we will keep working until every Floridian who wants a job can get one.
