LATAM
Airlines Group reports preliminary monthly statistics for April 2019
Santiago, Chile, May 8, 2019
–
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries, (“LATAM Airlines Group” or “the Company”) (NYSE: LTM /
IPSA: LTM), the leading airline group in Latin America, today reported its preliminary monthly traffic statistics for April 2019
compared with the same period of 2018.
System
passenger traffic (measured in revenue passenger kilometers (RPK)) increased 8.0%, while capacity rose by 8.0%. As a result,
the
Company’s load factor for the month fell 0.1 percentage points to 83.3%. The 30.1% increase in capacity in Spanish-speaking
domestic markets (Domestic SSC) is mainly explained by the strike in Chile last year. Excluding Chile, Domestic SSC capacity rose
10.4%, in line with the rise of the first three months of the year. International passenger traffic accounted for approximately
58% of the month’s total passenger traffic.
The following table summarizes traffic
figures for the month and includes a year-to-date breakdown for LATAM’s main business units.
