SAO PAULO/BRASILIA - LATAM Airlines Group, South America’s largest carrier, on Monday canceled 90% of its international flights as demand collapsed and countries shut down borders due to the coronavirus outbreak, leaving the region increasingly isolated.
Argentina, Peru and Ecuador have imposed tough isolation measures that led the vast majority of flights to those countries to be canceled. Chile has said it will close borders on Wednesday. International cancellations have sped up since last week, when Latin American carriers including Azul and LATAM said they would cut no more than 30% of their flights.
Private airport operators would also be able to defer government licensing fees required to operate airport concessions.The civil aviation industry has been seeking government aid through its main lobbying arm, Abear. The trade group had asked for a list of six items mostly focused on the removal of taxes, including on airline ticket sales and payroll.
