International passenger traffic accounted for approximately 69% of total passenger traffic. Cargo traffic in the same period increased 11.4% as capacity increased 14.7%. As a consequence, cargo load factor decreased 2.1 points to 71.7% mainly due to higher capacity on regional routes. Cargo traffic grew mainly as a result of the continued strength in import markets, especially in Brazil, an increase in wet lease capacity in preparation of the arrival of the B777 cargo fleet and the initiation of cargo operations in Central America during September.
