operating certificate for the commercial mode and is preparing to start flights to national and international destinations by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operation, which will be mainly based at the Rionegro airport, has already been approved by Aerocivil for the following routes: Rionegro- Aruba, Rionegro-Cura\u00e7ao and Barranquilla-Aruba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192<\/em><\/strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/10\/latam-airlines-group-projects-a-56-operation-rate-for-october.html\">LATAM Airlines Group projects a 56% operation rate for October.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the airline, it expects to receive authorization for 21 domestic and international routes in the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will initially operate with Embraer ERJ 145 aircraft with a capacity of 50 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We will put on the market in the first year of operation something close to 150,000 seats, of which we expect to transport 120,000 to 130,000 passengers, generating a simple direct operation and avoiding hubs and making a reduction in travel costs between 20 and 30%,&#8221; said Carlos Andres Mesa, President of Sarpa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
