Latam Airlines to cancel routes to San Juan and Bahia Blanca

Tweet

Latam Airlines has informed this week that they are cancelling definitive routes to the cities of San Juan and Bahia Blanca. This decision,(it is the first time that the airline cancels routes since it started to operate in Argentina in 2005) was made by the airlines due to the increasing operating costs of those two cities. According to the company, the earning in those two cities grew by about 7,6%, but the costs grew 35%, which makes it difficult to continue flying to those destinations. The increasing competition in domestic flights is another factor that has made the bigger airlines study more specifically which routes are more economically beneficial. In the case of Bahia Blanca, the new low-cost airline, Flybondy started to fly at the beginning of the year, and sure some new airlines like Avianca and Norwegian will do the same during the year. San Juan remains only with flights from Aerolineas Argentinas, but it could possibly start receiving flights from low-cost airlines too.
