LAN Airlines and its affiliates, part of LATAM Airlines Group, announce that beginning in August, five of the company’s existing routes will gradually begin to be operated by a new fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft. The change in product will modernize service from Santiago, Chile to Miami, Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), Cancun, Mexico City and Sao Paulo, Guarulhos (Brazil).
