A new super-airline wants to dominate South America - here's what it's like to fly on its new planes
LATAM
In operation since 2015, LATAM is one of newest international airline brands in the world. Yet it's one backed by nine decades worth of history and experience.
The brand is a result of a 2012 merger between Chile's LAN Airlines and Brazil's TAM. Together they form the largest airline in Latin America with 46,000 employees operating subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. LATAM's modern fleet is made up of more than 300 state-of-the-art Boeing and Airbus jets.
In 2016, the airline's profits jumped 10% to $568 million with a margin of 6% after streamlining its operations post merger.
