Search every verified Roberto Alvo interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Roberto Alvo, CEO of LATAM Airlines Group, has been active in industry leadership roles, serving as chair of the IATA Board of Directors for 2026-2027 and participating in press briefings at the 82nd IATA Annual General Meeting in June 2026. At these events, he discussed industry challenges, including rising fuel costs, which he said could account for over 30% of airline expenses during the crisis, and the financial strain on carriers with thin profit margins. He also commented on the increase in passenger disruptions in South America, attributing it to a lack of adequate regulation in the region, and expressed support for the CORSIA agreement as the sole economic measure for international flights, cautioning against European efforts to extend it. Earlier in his tenure, Alvo addressed the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on aviation. In March 2020, he announced he had cut his salary by 100% for the duration of the crisis, stating he could not ask employees to make sacrifices unless he led by example. He also proposed salary reductions for LATAM's 43,000 employees to preserve jobs amid a sharp decline in operations. In July 2021, during LATAM's Chapter 11 restructuring, he called on the Chilean government to provide clearer, measurable criteria for reopening borders, while noting the airline had transported over 60 million COVID-19 vaccines free of charge across its domestic markets in Brazil, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.
