Company Profile

LAN is the leading airline from New Zealand to South America, offering daily nonstop flights from Auckland to Santiago, Chile, and onward service to more than 50 destinations throughout Latin America.

The airline - which this year celebrates its 80th birthday - continues to evolve as a quality carrier on the world stage, recently winning for the second consecutive year the titles of "Best Airline in South America", "Best Regional Airline in South America" and "Best Cabin Crew - South America" in the Skytrax World Airline Awards.

As well, LAN was named by the influential economic journal Euromoney as the best managed company in South America, and highlighted by the global financial group Accenture as a great example of a forward thinking company in the new era of "Multipolar Business", combining the best business practices from around the world.

A member of the oneworld global airline alliance, LAN and sister carriers LAN Argentina and LAN Peru - together with LAN Ecuador and LAN Express - offer a comprehensive and growing network of destinations not only to, within and between 10 nations of Latin America, but beyond to Central and North America, the Pacific and Europe.

Passengers from throughout New Zealand can connect with LAN flights in Auckland, and can use the popular LAN South America Airpass to explore the continent, including major cities and renowned attractions such as the Inca ruins in Machu Picchu, Peru; Iguassu Falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina; and the spectacular Patagonian region of Chile.

Connections are also available to Mexico, USA, Canada and Europe, and from Santiago to Tahiti, via the Chilean Territory of Easter Island. And the carrier's reach spreads even further with partnerships including a comprehensive code share arrangement with the Brazilian carrier TAM.

Passengers flying LAN can earn and redeem mileage points not only through the airline's loyalty programme, LANPASS, but through Qantas Frequent Flyer and the loyalty programmes of other oneworld airlines.

Internationally, LAN continues to develop its long haul inflight product, including its new Premium Business and Economy Class cabins on the Airbus A340-300 aircraft used to operate flights from New Zealand to Latin America and to Sydney, as well as to Europe.

Within Latin America, LAN operates a fleet of modern Airbus A320-family single-aisle twinjets, while on key international routes in the region, and beyond, LAN flies dual class Boeing 767-300 aircraft, again with the new Premium Business and Economy Class cabins.

For the future, LAN has orders and purchase options for up to 32 next generation Boeing 787 Dreamliners, to expand significantly its long haul route network and market frequencies from 2012. In addition, LAN's airfreight division, LANCargo, operates nine Boeing 767 freighters, and this year will introduce the first two of four Boeing 777 freighter aircraft.
