In partnership with our Airline Route blog, Routesonline is launching a new weekly 'Historic Airline Schedule Snapshot' as part of our Throwback Thursday series, where we look back at the historic flight operations of a current or defunct airline.
This decision, which has already been included in the strategic plans of LATAM Airlines Group for the future, will see TAM add between four and six new regional destinations to its network every year. To support its plans it is in the “advanced stages of negotiations” with aircraft manufacturers to acquire 18 aircraft and options for 12 more.
We took a look at the top 20 airlines in the world by operating carrier, analysing the network capacity in December 2013 against the same month this year.
As United Airlines launches the longest Dreamliner route to date, here at Routesonline we decided to look at the top 10 longest and shortest Dreamliner routes in the world.
LAN Airlines welcomed its first 787 in August 2012 and has a total of 22 787-8s on order and a further four larger 787-9s. It currently operates a fleet of six examples all configured in a two-class arrangement with 217 seats in Economy and 30 in Premium Business.
The airline plans to introduce a three times weekly link between Lima and the historical city of Ayacucho from October 1, 2014 and a daily link between Lima and the northern beach destination of Talara from November 1, 2014. Both routes will be served with Airbus A319 equipment.
