International capacity was mainly driven by an increase in
operations on routes to the United States and Europe.
During the month of January, cargo traffic
increased 25.5%. This increase was mainly due to the recovery in
import and export markets in Latin America, as well as increased
operations to Europe. In line with the higher demand, capacity
grew 17.9%. As a result, the cargo load factor rose 4.1 points to
66.9%.
During January, 86.4% of the Company’s total
flights left on time based on a fifteen-minute standard (all
departures leaving within fifteen minutes of the scheduled
departure time are considered as “on-time”). This represented a
decrease of 4.2 points compared to January 2009.
