Insights

Capacity and traffic are growing, but June passenger load factors softened year-on-year.

LATAM Airlines Group expanded June capacity by 7.5% ASK while RPK grew 3.6%, which lowered the system load factor to 80.8%. International flying led growth with a 9.1% ASK increase and new service from São Paulo to Brussels, adding a tenth European destination.

Year-to-date, traffic reached 75,235 million RPK, up 9.9%, and the first-half load factor of 83.6% was 0.2% higher than in 2025, indicating generally stable utilization over a longer horizon. Cargo activity also expanded, with 698 million ATK and 81 thousand tons carried in June, suggesting balanced use of the freighter fleet and belly capacity.

Investors can relate these operating trends to future revenue once financial results for the corresponding quarter are released, paying attention to whether lower June load factors affect yield and unit revenue performance for the period.

"Consolidated load factor was 80.8%, down 3.0 percentage points compared to June 2025."
Load factor is a measure of how efficiently a transportation service, such as a plane, train, or bus, fills its available seats or space over a period of time. It is calculated by dividing the actual number of passengers or usage by the total available capacity. A higher load factor indicates better utilization, which can lead to more profitable operations and is important for investors assessing the efficiency and profitability of transportation companies.
