Understanding partnerships, consolidation, and mergers in Latin America

Latin American airline consolidation is proceeding, although the path and timing is difficult to forecast.

Avianca and GOL are seeking to create a pan-regional airline group capable of competing with LATAM on an equal footing.

Regional aviation leaders are projecting that three or four major airline groups will emerge, either via partnerships, mergers or other tie-ups.

This was the topic of a panel discussion at the CAPA Latin America Aviation & LCCs Summit in Querétaro, Mexico on 31-Aug-2023 and 1-Sep-2023.
