Re: LATAM Group News and Discussion - 2023
so I'm supposed to fly GRU-MEX in April and I just noticed that the aircraft got switched from a 787-9 to a 767...WHY?!?!? I thought they were removing the 767 from international service after late march!! has the 767 schedule been extended?

Re: Aeroméxico to launch FCO
just wondering if they're starting it because QR has been talking about starting MEX but needed a European stop and they were thinking of using FCO. So by AM serving it first, they might feel entitled to complain and have the Mexican govt block QR from doing so.
