Latin American air traffic growth slowed
The monthly report prepared by the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) showed a drop of approximately 4 % compared to the previous month
Air passenger traffic in Latin America reached 31.3 million people transported in January, which is equivalent to 96.4 % of the figure registered in the same month of 2019, prior to the pandemic.
Thus, according to the monthly report prepared by the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA), air traffic in the region slowed down compared to the immediately previous month, when it reached pre-pandemic levels.
In addition, January 2023 was the first month in which another region led the recovery of passengers, this being Africa. Thus, Latin America moved to second place, closely followed by the Middle East and North America, which both registered 95.7 % recovery.
The regions of Europe and Southeast Asia were further behind, although with the reopening of China, it is expected that at least the latter will improve its recovery levels.
