In view of the strong travel demand projected for the high season – from December 2023 to February 2024 – LATAM Airlines Group will have more than 137,000 flights available, equivalent to more than 25 million seats.
In this way, LATAM will add more than 16,000 flights to its global offer compared to the same period 2022-2023, which is in line with the projected 22% increase in passenger demand compared to the previous high season.
“In recent months we have seen a recovery in international travel. We know that people have already resumed the habit of traveling for vacation or rest and today LATAM Group is positioned as the best option in the region, offering a wide and robust network of connections to 148 destinations on four continents. We expect that, with this increase in supply, we will cover the growing demand for the period,” said María Paz Villasante, LATAM Airlines Group Commercial Strategy Manager.
