LATAM Group’s domestic operations to exceed pre-pandemic levels in January
LATAM Group projects an 85% increase in passenger operations for January (measured in available seat kilometers – ASK) compared to the same period in 2019. Thus, the group expects to operate approximately 1,409 daily domestic and international flights during the month, connecting 144 destinations in 22 countries. The cargo business, meanwhile, has more than 1,590 flights scheduled.
January operating data in domestic markets (Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) is expected to exceed the levels of the same period in 2019, with the exception of Chile whose recovery has been slower compared to the rest of the markets. In the case of the cargo business, the positive trend continues and accumulates a sixth consecutive month with a capacity projection above pre-pandemic data.
