LATAM Airlines Group has reported its preliminary monthly traffic statistics for April 2019 compared with the same period of 2018.
The group is reporting that its system passenger traffic increased 8%, while capacity rose by 8%.
The company's load factor for the month was relatively flat, down 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.
