For the first week of the year, the OAG noted that South America had the best capacity recovery, with a weekly increase of 12% in the number of seats available in the market. However, “we have noticed that Latin America has been, on average, six weeks behind the impact curve of covid-19 in other markets, and this growth could be reduced in the coming weeks after several countries reintroduced quarantine requirements to the arrival of passengers in the last week ”, stated the OAG.

On the contrary, Latin America continues with a drop in capacity of more than 40%, according to OAG statistics.
