Lan Cargo ("LAN" or "the Company"), the all cargo subsidiary of
LAN Airlines (NYSE: LFL / IPSA: LAN), will incorporate two new Boeing
777 aircraft into its cargo fleet. Both aircraft will commence
operations during the first quarter of 2009. Furthermore, the Company
is currently in negotiations for two additional Boeing 777 freighters
that would be integrated into the fleet by 2011, thus reaching a total
of four Boeing 777 aircraft.
Lan Cargo will be the first company in Latin America to operate
this world-class freighter, with the largest capacity and the best
efficiency performance in its category. The Boeing 777 cargo model has
a freight capacity of 104 tons, can travel up to 8,741 kilometers, and
possesses the most advanced technology.
Cristian Ureta, CEO of LAN Cargo, stated: "The addition of these
new aircraft positions Lan Cargo on the cutting edge of the air cargo
industry, with one of the most modern fleets in the world. This is an
important step in advancing LAN's objective to link Latin America with
the world, while providing excellent cargo service to our customers."
With the incorporation of these airplanes, the Company's freighter
fleet will reach 13 aircraft by 2011 (nine Boeing 767-300F and four
Boeing 777).
