LATAM Airlines describes promising pricing environment in spite of currency pressures

LATAM Airlines Group commented (12-Nov-2019) on operations in 3Q2019, stating that even though currencies across the region remained devalued, capacity adjustments in international routes are improving the pricing environment of operations, especially Brazil-US. Domestic operations in both Brazil and Spanish-speaking markets contributed 10% more ASKs during the quarter. Brazil domestic RASK increased by 24% in BRL and 23% in USD, while in the Spanish-speaking domestic markets RASK showed a 10% decline in USD, mainly as a result of the year-over-year devaluation of local currencies.
