The airline group completed the restart of its Curitiba-Santiago and Antofagasta-Lima routes, reinforcing its regional connectivity network
The LATAM group projects a passenger operation of 83% for November (measured in available seat kilometers - ASK) compared to the same period in 2019 (pre-pandemic scenario) and maintains its forecast of exceeding 85% operation at the end of the year . This month, the group will reach a major milestone in its reactivation process by flying the same number of destinations it had prior to the COVID 19 pandemic in November 2019. Similarly, it completed the restart of its Santiago-Curitiba and Antofagasta- Lima, which reinforce its regional connectivity network.
LATAM plans to operate approximately 1,347 daily national and international flights during the month, connecting 144 destinations in 22 countries. The cargo business, meanwhile, has more than 1,500 flights scheduled on planes of this type. All these projections are subject to the evolution of the pandemic in the countries where the group operates.
In October 2022, passenger traffic (measured in rental passenger kilometers - RPK) was 82.8% compared to the same period in 2019, based on an operation measured in ASK (available seat kilometers) of 81.9% compared to October 2019. This implied that the load factor increased 0.9 percentage points, reaching 83.3%.
In cargo, the load factor was 55.4%, which corresponds to an increase of 0.7 percentage points in relation to October 2019.
