Latam Airlines Group S.A. temporarily Pauses ClearPath for Part of Its Fleet.
AVTECH Sweden AB announces that Latam Airlines S.A. is temporarily pausing the use of ClearPath for its short-haul fleet for approximately one to two months. This is expected to reduce AVTECH’s revenues by approximately MSEK 0.6–1.2 during the period. Latam’s long-haul fleet is not affected and will continue using ClearPath as before.
The temporary pause is related to the airline's evaluation and benchmarking of several optimization solutions within its operations. The pause applies only to the airline’s short-haul fleet.
ClearPath is already generating significant cost savings within Latam’s operations, as confirmed by the airline. At the same time, considerable additional savings potential remains unrealized. AVTECH and Latam have agreed to continue working on a number of initiatives aimed at increasing pilot adoption and usage. By doing so, the parties seek to further enhance the operational benefits and cost savings generated by the service.
AVTECH remains positive about its long-term partnership with Latam and about ClearPath’s ability to contribute to reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improved operational efficiency.
