Yes indeed, focused on your fleet size or available aircraft, which also goes hand in hand with the capacity offered and the number of routes that make them the most important in the region.
Precisely, taking advantage of the fact that we are in a process of alliances, airline purchases, Actions and others coming out of Chapter 11, the region's aviation industry is moving more than ever.
The largest airlines in Latin America
Beginning lesson, We are going to review which are the largest airlines in the Latin American region in terms of the size of their fleet, yes indeed, clarifying well that these numbers may have changed, since the airlines incorporate new planes and retire others permanently.
The LatamData portal published days ago on its social networks a statistical table showing this interesting data, what we review next:
- LATAM Airlines – 300 airplanes plus others 10 soon to be received.
- Blue – 160 airplanes plus others 1 next to be received.

As we can see, since the publication of the Latinometrics information, the positions and the number of planes have changed and as a bonus I also incorporated Viva Air, which we know you have ordered a total of 50 planes that would position it in the TOP 10 displacing SKY.
The new largest air group
Thanks to the alliances that are in process, but subject to the approval of market control entities, we will be able to see in a few months the list will be as follows:
- Open Group (Avianca, Long live and GOAL) – 310 planes.
- LATAM Airlines – 300 planes.
- Blue – 160 planes.
So we must be attentive to these changes in the air geopolitics of the region.

Interesting data in number of planes, Yes, makes it clear to us that Brazilian airlines solidly occupy a good share of the Latin American market and it is not surprising that Brazil is the first economy in the region. On the other hand, with the Abras group, the perspective changes. It is clear that the larger the economy of a country, there is usually more air traffic.
Totally agree, but for example, if you compare Ecuador with Chile there is not so much population difference, but the market size of one and the other is very different.
Correct. The Chilean economy is much larger in terms of income but per capita compared to Ecuador despite having a similar population.
Latam airlines is a Chilean company, with headquarters in Santiago de Chile
