Latam Airlines, the largest air transport group in Latin America, reported Wednesday that in November it will increase its weekly flights by a thousand, reaching 33% of the operations it did before the pandemic, which forced the company to leave most of its planes on the ground, EFE reported.

“This increase would be mainly due to the resumption of international flights from Peru and the increase of domestic frequencies in Colombia and Brazil,” explained Latam in a statement.

The company, born out of the merger between Chile’s Lan and Brazil’s Tam in 2012, indicated that in October it resumed 25% of its usual activity and warned that the 4,300 weekly frequencies scheduled for November “are subject to the evolution of the pandemic, as well as travel restrictions in the countries where it operates.

From Peru, Latam will restart flights to Asunción, Mexico City, Guayaquil, La Paz, Los Angeles, Miami, Montevideo, New York and São Paulo, while the domestic activity of its subsidiaries in Colombia and Brazil will reach 42% and 54%, respectively, in November.

“Despite the progressive increase in the last four months, the projections are still far from the capacity shown by the group in the same period in 2019, before the impact of the pandemic,” he added in a statement.

The group, which prior to the health emergency was flying to 145 destinations in 26 countries and offering 1,400 daily flights, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in July to restructure its financial liabilities and manage its fleet.

The decision came weeks after Latam filed for bankruptcy in its home country, Chile, as well as in Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States, affected by the halt in activity due to the confinement of the population mainly between the months of March and June.
