US carriers continue to dominate Latin America's international market

28-Oct-11 8:51 AM

Although financially weaker than their competitors to the south, US carriers continue to dominate Latin America’s international market.

US carriers have traditionally accounted for a large majority of capacity between the US and Latin America. This has always been a sore topic for Latin American airlines, who over the years have repeatedly complained about an uneven playing field and how difficult it is to compete against their larger and aggressive competitors to the north.
