The Chilean-Brazilian airline reported infections in members of its crews.
The contagions of covid-19, caused by the omicron variant in Colombia, limited this Thursday the operation of the Chilean-Brazilian airline LATAM that reported infections in members of its crews, which has caused cancellations and delays in flights.
“Given the increase in cases reported by the new variant of covid-19 that has had an impact on some of our crew members and has limited our personnel resources, we have been forced to have some cancellations today,” wrote LATAM on his Twitter account.
The company, which is one of the leaders of air transport in Colombia together with Avianca and Viva Air, regretted “the inconvenience caused by this measure” and invited its affected users to “request the refund of your ticket, change the date ( without penalties) or request a change of route “.
“In addition, if you fly with us these days, we invite you to stay abreast of our networks, APP Latam and website, where we will report the evolution of this situation in our operation,” added the information.
Precisely the contagions of covid-19 in Colombia increased sharply this Thursday to 23,039, while the deceased exceeded 50.
This is a record number since the beginning of July, due to the predominance in the country of the omicron variant of the virus, which has brought the total number of cases to 5,242,672 and shows data that had not been recorded since the last wave of the pandemic, which was the most lethal.
However, while at that time it was close to 600 daily deaths, this Thursday 51 deaths were reported, which brings the total since the beginning of the pandemic to 130,191. (I)
