The Atlantic was so profitable last summer, and still expected to outperform next year, plus with Asia substantially back in 2024, opportunity cost is a major network consideration. So, a resource-intensive route like SCL (double-redeye not good for utilization) in the offseason, in the midst of a poor economic situation in Chile, is unfortunately on the chopping block.
At least it's a seasonal cut and not a market exit.
