Passenger demand at the start of this season remains firmly concentrated in key markets on both sides of the Atlantic. Within the domestic and European sectors, the most requested cities by the group’s customers are Barcelona, London, Paris, Rome, Athens, and Lisbon. Meanwhile, in Latin America, the most prominent traffic flows are directed toward Bogota, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City.

During this period, the domestic and European markets will capture the bulk of the capacity with 15,998,692 seats, highlighted by the launch of two new destinations on the continent: Bucharest and Tivat.

Exponential Growth in North America and Latin America

The largest percentage increase in capacity this summer is located in the US and Canadian markets. Both nations see a significant boost in offerings compared to the previous summer period, reaching a total of 1,280,254 seats, which equates to a 19.02% growth rate.

Regarding Latin America, capacity will reach 3,354,159 seats, up 7.6% from the previous year.

This massive capacity deployment comes amid a challenging global context, significantly marked by international factors that have driven up jet fuel prices. Despite this financial pressure, the airline remains steadfast in its commitment to passengers and continues to advance its 2030 Flight Plan. This corporate roadmap steadily guides the growth and expansion of the carrier’s global network.
