LATAM expects to operate approximately 1,291 daily domestic and international flights during the month, connecting 144 destinations in 22 countries. The cargo business, meanwhile, has scheduled almost 1,400 flights on freighter aircraft. All these projections are subject to the evolution of the pandemic in the countries where the group operates.
In September 2022, passenger traffic (measured in revenue passenger-kilometers- RPK) was 82.3% compared to the same period of 2019, based on an operation measured in ASK (available seat-kilometers) of 81.5% compared to September 2019. This implied that the occupancy factor increased 0.8 percentage points to 83.3%.
In cargo, the occupancy factor was 54.9%, corresponding to an increase of 1.5 percentage points compared to September 2019.
