Total operating revenue of $769 million, a 20% increase. Total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) decreased 2.4% to $8.2 cents.
Total operating expenses of $734 million, a 52% increase. Total operating expenses per available seat mile (CASM) increased 24% to $7.85 cents, while CASM ex-fuel decreased 0.5% to $4.07 cents. Average economic fuel cost increased 72.2% to $3.96 per gallon.

Net debt-to-LTM EBITDAR ratio of 3.4 times.
“We have consistently anticipated strong demand in our visiting friends-and-relatives and leisure markets – markets which show no signs of a slowdown. ASMs grew by 22% for the third quarter compared to 2021 and by 48% compared to 2019. Our strategically planned growth has been both consistent and profitable.
While typically we see load factor peak in July and reductions towards the end of Summer, in this year our load factors increased every month in the third quarter, from 84.7% in July, to 84.9% in August, and reached an all-time monthly record high of 87.4% in September. Forward bookings are solid, and we expect to maintain a strong load factor for the remainder of the year, while CASM ex-fuel for the third quarter was under control despite inflationary pressures” said Enrique Beltranena, Chief Executive Officer.

We define Adjusted CASM ex fuel as total operating expenses by available seat mile, excluding fuel expense, redelivery expense and sale and lease back gains. We define EBITDAR as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, depreciation of right of use assents and aircraft and engine variable lease expenses. We define Net debt-to-LTM EBITDAR as Net debt divided by LTM EBITDAR.
These non-IFRS measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial information presented in this release that is calculated and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), because we believe that they, in conjunction with the IFRS financial information, provide useful information to management’s, analysts’ and investors’ overall understanding of our operating performance.
