Santiago, Chile, June 11, 2013– LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries, (“LATAM Airlines Group” or “the Company”) (NYSE: LFL / IPSA: LAN / Bovespa: LATM11), the leading airline group in Latin America, today reported preliminary monthly traffic statistics for May 2013 compared to May 2012.

System passenger traffic increased 4.4% as capacity declined 0.3%. As a result, the Company’s load factor for the month increased 3.5 points to 79.4%. International passenger traffic accounted for approximately 53% of the month’s total passenger traffic.

Domestic passenger traffic in LATAM Airlines Group’s Spanish speaking operations (Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia) rose 11.7%, as capacity increased 13.6%. As a consequence, the domestic passenger load factor decreased 1.3 points to 75.3%.

Domestic passenger traffic in Brazil increased 7.5%, as capacity decreased 11.0%. As a consequence, the domestic Brazil passenger load factor increased 13.5 points to 78.4%.

International passenger traffic increased 0.8%, while capacity increased 4.2%. Accordingly, the international passenger load factor for the month decreased 2.8 points to 81.2%. International traffic includes international operations of both LAN and TAM on regional and long haul routes.

Cargo traffic rose 1.5% as capacity increased 1.5%. As a consequence, the cargo load factor remained flat in 58.2%. The growth in cargo capacity is a result of increased availability in the belly of passenger aircraft partially offset by reduced freighter operations. The increase in cargo traffic was mainly driven by delayed seasonal demand.
