The first place in Latin America goes to the Mexico City route – Madrid, where the airline Iberia obtained more than $238 million dollars in profit, Not for nothing did the airline recently increase its frequencies on this route.

Next comes an interregional route operated by a Latin American airline, more than $230 million dollars in profit, the Santiago de Chile and Lima route operated by LATAM Airlines Group takes second place in the ranking.

Followed and to great surprise, is the route between Guarulhos and Dubai operated by Emirates with more than $215 million dollars in profit. Next comes the Santiago route – Guarulhos with $215 million in LATAM Airlines financial statements, Guarulhos – Air France Paris with more than $206 millions, Avianca with its route between Cali and Bogotá with $200 millions, American Airlines between Guarulhos – Miami and Medellin – Bogotá of Avianca on reviewed the $196 millions, Guarulhos – Lisbon with $191 million and Iberia closes again with the Buenos Aires route – Madrid with $189 million in profits.

It is important to note that the two largest airline groups in the region both operate with two routes each., But the fact that Avianca achieves enormous profits with domestic routes within Colombia is unstable..

Iberia also demonstrates why it is the most important airline in connections with Latin America with more than $400 millions of dollars in profits in just two of all the destinations it operates in the region.

  1. In Colombia, thanks to the Avianca monopoly, we have some of the most expensive air tickets in the world, hence a regional route that lasts 35 minutes between Bogotá and Cali or Bogotá Medellín give gains of 200 millions of dollars over intercontinental routes and longer routes within America
