Cargo traffic for LATAM decreased 0.7% as capacity decreased 4.4%. As a consequence, the cargo load factor increased 2.3 points to 60.5%. The decrease in cargo capacity is a result of a decreased availability in the bellies of passenger aircraft in addition to a reduced freighter operation. Cargo traffic decrease was driven by weaker imports into Latin America and a decrease in exports in certain products from the region.
