Fitch Publish Latin America Airlines Dashboard

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: Latin American Airlines Dashboard - First-Half 2015http://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/reports/report_frame.cfm?rpt_id=865942

Fitch Ratings has published its 'Latin American Airlines Dashboard - First half 2015'. Latin American airlines face a challenging scenario in 2015. The benefits from lower fuel costs are being offset by declining yields, driven by weaker demand and increased competition. Additional challenges include the devaluation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar and unfavorable fuel hedge positions. The difficult environment will test companies' market positions, competitive strength, management effectiveness, and capacity to balance business growth and fleet renewal efforts against capital structure strength.
