Supposedly A319s and 20s powered by International Aero Engines V2500 A5 (don't know much about engines, I just copy/pasted the name, lol). According to the article I read, they will be used for domestic flights within Argentina, Peru and Chile.
Btw, how many engine types does LAN fly on their A32Xs? I know they became the launch costumer for the PW6000, but what did they fly before? Are they adding yet another engine type?
Sorry if this is a load of BS, don't really know much about engines/engine manufacturers....
Cheers

We have to give LAN a lot of credit, what a great airline. I'm guessing their new Airbuses are to replace their -200s.

A319: IAE V2500-A5s.
A320: IAE V2500

Correct, that is what the articel states to replace the aging 737-230adv's.
LA has placed a few nice orders this year for both there Long Haul and Short Haul fleets. Very nice airline with a cool paint scheme. Congrats to Airbus and LAN.

The article says the aircrafts will be for all the LAN Group: in Chile, Argentina and Peru.
It is logical as 25+15 airplanes will be too many for a single airline. The 737-200 will be replaced by the A318!!! Which is a very good news, indeed. The small Airbus is getting more and more orders.
Agur,

Quoting PPVRA (Reply 10): What's the reason behind ordering PWs for their A318s? Does IAE not have a suitable engine for the type?
No, their engine is too big (weight and thrust) for the A318. I think the PW6000 was going to be the only engine choice on the A318 as its low weight and superior fuel consumption significantly improved the A318's economics. However, PW had so many problems with the engine that Airbus offered it with the heavier CFM-56 as well.
Indeed, LAN is the very first customer for the A318 with PW6000s.

From what I've read this is NOT a new order, but a confirmation of an order announced last summer.

Thanks, PPVRA. The Airbus press release confirms that this is a confirmation of a previous order. Just curious as the intitial post in this thread cited a "new order".
Quote: LAN Airlines ("LAN") with headquarters in Santiago (Chile) has signed a contract with Airbus for the acquisition of 25 A320 Family aircraft plus 15 options. This order confirms LAN's previous announcement of June 2005 and brings their total orders for Airbus aircraft to 59.

I'm sorry, thought it was a new order but now we know it's only the confirmation of a previous order!
But still pretty impressive what LA is doing, of course it's now LAN, but behind it's the one we used to know as Lan Chile with profitable subsidiaries in closer territories and this new frames will sure make LA stronger. Interesting will be to see how LA play it's cards and perform in Argentina!

It's, indeed. Like TACAA320 says, it is by far, the best airline in LatinAmerica even maybe (and I say "maybe") is the best one in the American Continent.
Hmm it all depends on how the cover of the book is seen.
For me the most important is the biggest... the one who get to carry more pax in a year... and that title at least for 2004 went to RG followed by J.J, AM, MX and I'm not so sure but I think AV was first or ater LA, AR, TA, 6A, CM!
In terms of fleet this is the ranking (jets only): AM, RG, J.J, MX, AR, LA, AV, G3, 6A, TA, CM.
In terms of service, probably LA goes first followed by J.J, RG, MX, AV, AR, AM.

Ricardo, when I say "maybe be is the best" I assume people think about the in-flight service. But even when we speak their network about, LAN serves 4 continents (OZ, North and South America, Europe) Even their Cargo division, LanCargo, is pretty large, on that way LAN has cargo planes (767F) and for instance, IB has no one ...sadly

Quoting Anxebla (Reply 17): as a matter of fact, the A318 is the best and most suitable for a B732 replacement
Its not a suitable replacement for the 732 on most routes. The only suitable replacement there ever was was the 735.
Now, the Embraer 190 and 195 are the best replacement. The A318 is tooo much plane.
I am sure LA will avail themselves of the range and payload of the 318.

According to my own opinion, I go on thinking the best replacement for the 732s can be an A-318, especially if you already have others A320-family aircraft in your fleet. And of course, the Embraer is a very good airplane as well.
