## Article

Good news for the industry: **LATAM Airlines Group** increased its capacity by **7.5%** in June 2026, measured in available seat kilometers (ASK), according to [Suelo Caribe](https://suelocaribe.com/aeronavegacion/latam-incremento-su-capacidad-un-75-durante-junio/).

The push came mainly from international markets, which grew **9.1%**, while domestic Chilean operations added **5.8%**. For anyone working in Dominican tourism, this looks promising: LATAM is a key player on routes connecting South America with Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, and Samaná.

I see a clear signal here. The airline is doubling down on long-haul, and that means more seats available for Brazilian, Chilean, and Argentine tourists to keep coming. If the trend holds, Caribbean hotels and tour operators should be ready to welcome more passengers from these markets in the coming months.
