11 November 2022 - LATAM Airlines projects passenger operation of 83% for November (measured in available seat-kilometers - ASK) compared with the same time period in 2019 (before the pandemic) and maintains its projection to exceed 85% of the consolidated operational recovery by the end of the year. This month, LATAM will hit a major milestone in resuming to fly to the same number of destinations as it did prior to the Covid-19 pandemic in November 2019. At the same time, the group restarted routes including Curitiba-Santiago and Antofagasta-Lima, which solidified its regional network.

LATAM plans to operate approximately 1,347 national and international flights this month, connecting 144 destinations across 22 countries. Meanwhile, the cargo business has more than 1,500 flights scheduled. All these projections are subject to changes in the pandemic across the countries in which it operates.

In October 2022, passenger traffic (measured in revenue passenger-kilometers – RPK) was 82.8% compared to the same time period in 2019, based on an operation measured in ASK (available seat-kilometers) of 81.9% compared to October 2019. This suggests that the load factor increased  0.9%, reaching 83.3%.

For cargo, the load factor was 55.4%, corresponding to an increase of 0.7 points compared to October 2019.
