LATAM Airlines Ecuador

Aerolane Líneas Aéreas Nacionales del Ecuador S.A. d/b/a LATAM Airlines Ecuador (formerly LAN Ecuador) is a subsidiary of LATAM Airlines Group of Chile, based in Quito, Ecuador.[4][5] It is owned by Translloyd (55%) and LATAM Airlines (45%).[5][6]

History

LATAM Ecuador was established in July 2002 as LAN Ecuador and started operations on 23 April 2003 with two Boeing 767-300ERs operated by LAN Airlines.

In 2007, the airline became a member of the Oneworld alliance as a subsidiary of LAN Airlines.[7] On 24 December 2008, LAN Ecuador received approval to begin domestic operations, which were launched by 6 April 2009, with the Airbus A318.[8]

On 26 May 2020, LATAM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States due to economic problems attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation,[9] although they are currently operating and have been negotiating terms.[10] In August, the company announced its second-quarter results, projecting improved operational prospects.[11]
