LATAM Airlines Group<\/strong> announced outstanding results for the first quarter of 2025, solidifying its position as a leader in Latin America’s aviation industry. With a net profit of US$355 million and an adjusted operating margin of 16.8%, the company demonstrated strong financial and operational performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustained Growth in Passengers and Revenue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The group transported 21 million passengers, a 3.6% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Operating revenue reached US$3.411 billion, reflecting a 2.7% growth, driven by a 1.6% rise in passenger revenue and a notable 9.8% increase in cargo revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adjusted operating result totaled US$573 million, marking a 23.9% year-over-year growth. Meanwhile, the adjusted EBITDAR approached US$1 billion, a historic figure for LATAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong Financial Management and Optimistic Projections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the quarter, the company generated US$585 million in adjusted operating cash flow and US$189 million in net cash. It ended the period with liquidity of 28.4% relative to the revenue of the last twelve months and an adjusted net leverage of 1.5x.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this performance, LATAM revised its 2025 guidance upward, expecting an adjusted operating margin between 13.0% and 15.0% and an adjusted EBITDAR of US$3.4 to US$3.75 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Network Expansion and Operational Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consolidated capacity, measured in available seat kilometers (ASK), grew by 7.3%, primarily driven by a 10.7% increase in international operations. LATAM expanded its network from 151 destinations in December 2024 to 153 in March 2025, covering 27 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share Buyback Program and Credit Rating Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The group approved a share buyback program of up to 1.6% of its outstanding shares through a Block Firm Offer (BFO) on the Santiago Stock Exchange, for an approximate amount of US$153 million, valid until April 30, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, LATAM received credit rating upgrades: S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings raised its rating to “BB” from “BB-,” highlighting the group’s financial stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investments in Customer Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LATAM continues to heavily invest in passenger experience. Nearly 90% of its narrow-body fleet is now equipped with Wi-Fi, while 61% of wide-body aircraft feature modernized interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company implemented premium economy cabins on 100% of narrow-body flights within South America and introduced new business class cabins on its wide-body aircraft, featuring unique suite doors in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complementing these efforts, LATAM announced the construction of a new lounge at Guarulhos Airport (S\u00e3o Paulo), set to open in 2027, and the rollout of “Signature Check-in” for premium customers at select airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These initiatives contributed to a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 56 points, the highest in the group’s history, representing a 5.6-point increase compared to the first quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleet Modernization and Sustainability Commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LATAM received two new A320neo aircraft during the quarter, part of a plan to incorporate 26 aircraft in 2025, aimed at improving efficiency and reducing emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In sustainability, the company was recognized in S&P Global’s “Sustainability Yearbook,” ranking among the top six companies in its industry worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ricardo Bottas, CFO of LATAM Airlines Group, stated: “LATAM’s operational and financial adaptability positions it well to navigate the coming months.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With strong figures, strategic investments, and a customer-centric approach, LATAM stands as a key player in the region, ready to capitalize on new opportunities in a challenging environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
