LATAM Airlines posts $573m loss because of coronavirus restrictions
LATAM Airlines, the continent's largest carrier, said on Friday it lost $573m in Q3, as the company continues a bankruptcy restructuring process that started in May because of the coronavirus pandemic. Revenue fell 81% in the quarter compared to a year ago. The results “are not a surprise given the context,” said LATAM’s CFO Ramiro Alfonsin. Like most airlines around the world, LATAM’s domestic flights are recovering at faster pace than international routes after months of economic restrictions imposed to curb the virus. So far this year LATAM has reported a net loss of $3.6b. The airline also burned through more than $200m in cash between July and September, although in October it said it got access to fresh liquidity as part of its Chapter 11 restructuring.<br/>
