Two of  South America’s biggest airlines, LATAM, Avianca and Aeroméxico, have announced an increase of its domestic and international routes. As known, these carriers are facing debt structuring processes under Chapter 11 protection of the United States Code, but they are on continuous reactivation as the economy of the region is recovering.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the world economy and the travel industry, but as many airlines have reinforced their own hygiene and biosecurity protocols and many countries have started vaccination programs, carriers continue to gradually reactivate their respective route network.
