Among the novelties of the period is the reactivation of the seasonal route Santiago – Florianópolis and the beginning of the sale of emblematic routes that return in mid-2023, such as Sao Paulo-Johannesburg, Brasilia-Lima and Porto Alegre-Santiago. The Cargo business, meanwhile, accumulates five consecutive months with a capacity projection above pre-pandemic numbers, with an estimate for this month of 116% compared to 2019 data.
In November 2022, passenger traffic (measured in revenue passenger-kilometers – RPK) was 82.4% compared to the same period in 2019. The occupancy factor remained at 82.6%.
In cargo, the occupancy factor was 54.1%, which corresponds to a decrease of 3.2 percentage points compared to November 2019.
