As of October 2023, LATAM Group has experienced significant growth in international flight operations, marking a 31.2% increase in capacity compared to the same month in 2022. This surge in operations is attributed in part to the initiation of Joint Venture routes with Delta, such as Medellín-Miami and Lima-Atlanta. The group’s October international passenger count reached 1.2 million, a substantial 38.4% increase from October 2022. Overall operations, measured in seats and available kilometers, rose by 14.9% compared to the previous year.

The total number of passengers transported during October rose by 13.2% compared to October 2022, reaching 6.4 million passengers. The international operations contributed significantly to this growth, with a remarkable 38.4% increase in passengers.
