An investor call was conducted this morning to discuss LATAM JV. Highlights:



We receive the first 2 A350s at the end of 2020. No further timeline for the remaining 12 except sometime between 2021-2025. Ed made comments that suggested our current 15 firm was too small of a fleet. Sounds like we are still open in our search for WB renewal, to both Boeing/Airbus.



We will use debt for nearly all of the 1.9b purchase. On-top of that, 350m to ease LATAMs transition will be spread out over years.



Our current flying ratio between US-LATAM is 30%/70%. Will be interesting addition/ complication to our scope negotiations. Mentioned several times that the JV will help grow Aeromexico.
