- LATAM/Avianca
Changing market dynamics are driving several network adjustments at Latin Americas two largest airline groups – LATAM and Avianca Holdings. Those companies are navigating currency pressure and rising fuel costs, and as a result they are working to maximise the profitability of their respective networks.
LATAM Airlines Group is opting to cut some long haul flights and service to Argentina, and instead will focus on regional international routes and growing service in Brazils domestic market as its competitor Avianca Brazil continues to shrink.The airline is cutting eight routes in 2019 and adding nine new pairings. All the new routes are within South America and the cuts are largely focused on Argentina, along with some long haul markets that have weaker demand. LATAM executives recently explained that the company was cutting its international supply to Argentina by 20%. Argentina is in the midst of economic turmoil and its currency has plummeted, which has affected international inbound travel to the country. Government data show that international passenger levels fell year-on-year from Jun-2018 to Dec-2018, falling as much as 7% both in Oct-2018 and Nov-2018. Domestic passenger levels grew steadily in 2018, but there is little doubt that Argentinas airlines battled weak yields. Pablo Chiozza, SVP USA, Canada & Caribbean, LATAM Airlines Group is a member of Portada´s Travel Marketing Board.
Aviancas adjustments include essentially exiting Perus domestic market and cutting some service to the US from its Bogotá hub. At the same time, the company is opting to add capacity from Bogotá to some larger domestic routes in Colombia and Chile.Other routes that Avianca is cutting in 2019 include Lima-Mendoza, and Bogotá to Montreal, Boston and Chicago OHare. It is also eliminating service from Cartagena to Pereira and New York JFK.Of all the routes it is cutting in 2019, it only faces competition on two of the pairings – LATAM on flights from Lima to Mendoza, and Viva Air Peru and Aeropostal on services between Cartagena and Pereira.Overall, Avianca is suspending 16 routes but also stated that it was adding capacity on its routes from Bogotá, to Medellín, Cali and Santiago.Avianca is planning modest capacity expansion in 2019. Its current guidance shows a range of flat growth to a 2% increase.
