History
Prior to the acquisition by LAN Chile, the airline was known under its legal name Aero 2000. On April 1, 2007, LAN Argentina became an affiliate member of Oneworld . The airline is owned by LATAM Airlines Group (49%) and Argentine investors (51%).
On August 28, 2013, an Argentine court blocked a government plan for early termination of the LAN hangar lease at Jorge Newbery Airport, which was considered vital to the airline’s activities [1] .
As its parent company LAN Chile merged with TAM Airlines and renamed LATAM Airlines , LAN Argentina was also renamed LATAM Argentina.
LATAM Airlines has agreed to pay more than $ 22 million in civil and criminal fines relating to the case of bribery a decade ago. The US Securities and Exchange Commission announced a fine to LATAM in connection with “improper payments authorized by it during a dispute between the airline and its employees in Argentina”. LAN was accused of using an Argentinean consultant to negotiate with unions on behalf of the company and paid the consultant through a fictitious contract that sent funds to corrupt union officials. The scheme violated the accounting provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the US Department of Justice said, and the airline agreed to pay $ 2.75 million. It also paid $ 9.4 million, including interest, to settle the SEC’s allegations of inadequate accounting controls.
