Any new routes or frequencies at IPC?
My posts/replies are strictly my opinion and not that of any company, organization, or Southwest Airlines.

LAN Cargo has more cargo partners and a larger presence at LAX via its cargo operations. Cargo originating/terminating at or via SFO usually peaks on the route during the summer. Also, LP only code-shares with one Asian carrier at SFO. It's worth noting that these new frequencies to North America are possible since LAN will now receive 9 new B-767-316ERs during this year.

Why are they flying passenger planes to SFO then?
Obviously because passengers fly on the a/c. Some pax also enjoy the fact that LAN is the only carrier that can fly them non-stop between SFO and LIM, and offer connections via LIM.

So it's a passenger flight that was reduced because all the cargo is going over LAX to Asia. I love the reasoning on a.net sometimes.

According to DOT numbers for the first 7 months of 2011, LAXLIM carries 60+% more cargo per departure than SFOLIM and has a LF that is 8pts higher @ 90%, so adding more LAX is not unreasonable

no surprise regarding cargo, LAX has a lot of cargo demand ex LIMA, but its nearly all commodity business (Asparagues) and SFO still has not good facilitys and work flow for this kind of cargo + LAX is used by several companys to distribute in the west coast

Hopefully LP will launch that route this year. I wouldn't be surprised if TACA decides to up its flight frequency on that route before LP makes a move.

It makes sense taking into account that TA LIM-MIA is only 7x weekly at this time and LP LIM-MIA with 763 is announcing to increase gradually their operations up to 14x weekly.
That is correct. It will increase in frequency this year. Also, LP/4M will increase frequency on the LIM-EZE route to 23x weekly later this year.

Incorrect, LAN Perú will increase frequency on the LIM-MIA route from 13x weekly to 17x weekly, (B763). Thus, AA/LP will offer 24 weekly non-stop flights with the B763 and 7 weekly non-stop flights with the B752.

Sorry, no official source. However, a couple of well trusted insiders have revealed (in other aviation forums) that T0 will receive this year up to 2 A330s from AV and that T0 will deploy them first on the LIM-MIA-LIM and LIM-EZE-LIM routes.
Apologies for the off-topic comment.

Quoting airplane (Reply 29): Unfortunately LAN Ecuador is falling apart with flight cuts, and massive layoffs just this month.
LAN Ecuador is not falling apart and only 55 employees will be laid off, (mostly cabin crew). The flight cuts include reverting the UIO-GYE-EZE route back to 5x weekly, reducing the UIO-CUE route from 14x weekly to 12x weekly, and closing the GYE-MIA route in April; which operates 5x weekly. LAN Ecuador will increase frequency on the UIO-MIA route from 6x weekly to daily. PAX traveling on the GYE-MIA route will still have that option via the new code-share agreement with AA.

55 out of nearly 300 cabin crew is a lot.
Domestics did needed the cut.
The GYE-MIA is a great route but it needs a better schedule. Thats why AA 2 daily from UIO and 2 from GYE. Axing the route is a lot.
Since the planes are going back from HC reg. to CC reg., will they keep all the maintenance staff and facilities ?
The cancellation of the fuel benefit for Ecuadorean airlines hit everyone hard. I hope LAN overcomes these problems and stays in Ecuador for good, and shows everyone that they really wanted to build a great airline and not use Ecuador just as a cheap gas station.

LAN Ecuador is only dropping four weekly frequencies to the U.S. and two weekly frequencies to Argentina. AA operates MIA-GYE 10x weekly, (B763 daily and B738 3x weekly) and LA operates SCL-GYE-CCS-MIA weekly. LAN Ecuador will continue to operate GYE-JFK, GYE-LIM, GYE-MAD, GYE-SCL, etc. all on a daily basis. The UIO-MIA route will revert back to a daily service.

In order to receive the fuel subsidy, LAN Ecuador had to register its a/c with Ecuadorian registrations. Since Ecuadorian carriers will no longer receive the fuel subsidy, LAN Ecuador no longer has to operate a/c with Ecuadorian registrations. LAN Ecuador is not going anywhere and has the potential to grow its regional operations. For example, LAN Ecuador does not operate into any Colombian cities and routes such as GYE-BOG and UIO-BOG are being examined by LAN Ecuador and LAN Colombia.

Yes, that is correct. Also, LP is increasing frequencies on several domestic routes as well. For example, both the LIM-IQT and LIM-PIU routes now operate 5x daily. LP would like to serve each domestic destination with at least three daily flights.

Quoting SCL767 (Reply 28):
It's a transitional arrangement as LAN takes delivery of new B-767-316ERs this year. The A-340-313X will operate on the SCL-LIM-LAX route twice weekly starting on April 17TH through early July. LAN planned on receiving 7 new B-767-316ERs this year, however LAN will now receive 9 new B-767-316ERs this year. Also, as a result, LAN Perú will now receive more than 2 new B-767-316ERs later this year.
LAN will get 9 B763 but will return 2 to lessors, so the net increase of aircraft will be 7. Anyway, it's a big increase. LAN wants one to be deployed in EZE, but the Argentinian Government doesn't want yet. I think 2-3 could go to LAN Colombia, other 2 to LAN Perú and the final one to LAN for the whole system.

I wish that LA would add IAD! They have talked about it for years, but so far, they haven't done it. A daily SCL-LIM-IAD flight on a 763 would be wonderful.
