LAN Airlines is one of the leading passenger airlines in Latin America. The company serves more than 60 destinations around the world through an extensive network that offers full connectivity within Latin America while also linking the region with North America, Europe and the South Pacific, as well as 58 additional international destinations through its various code-share agreements. LAN Airlines and its affiliates have a leading position in their respective domestic markets of Chile and Peru as well as an important presence in the Argentinean domestic market.
The company’s world class quality standards enabled its membership in oneworld™, the global alliance that encompasses the best airlines in the world.
LAN connects Norway with Latin America. Due to a SPA agreement which LAN holds with Lufthansa, passengers from Norway can fly to Frankfurt with Lufthansa and connect with LAN from Frankfurt via Madrid with the LAN direct flights to Santiago de Chile, Lima (Peru), Guayaquil and Quito (Ecuador). LAN offers a non-stop daily flight to Santiago, three non-stop flights per week between Madrid and Lima and seven non-stop flights per week to Guayaquil with direct connection to Quito. That means a total of 17 weekly flights to South America.
Since 1 November 2008, LAN is part of the BSP in Norway and will be represented from 1 January onwards by Flyservice, a General Sales Agent based in Oslo.
Currently, LAN Airlines operates one of the most modern fleets in the world, with 75 passenger aircraft. All flights are operated with modern Boeing 767-300 and Airbus 340. The fleet has a new two-classes-configuration with 100% recline full-flat seats in its Premium Business Class and individual screen and entertaining in-flight programs on each seat of Economy Class. The company recently completed its short haul fleet renovation process by acquiring new aircraft from the Airbus A320 family, enabling LAN to improve its efficiency and to reduce significantly its CO2 emissions. The fleet renovation is part of the company’s commitment to the protection of the environment.
