LAN Airlines has named Santiago, Buenos Aires, Lima, Los Angeles, Madrid and Frankfurt as the first cities it will serve with Boeing 787 aircraft during the initial year of operations with the carrier. It expects to take delivery of its first Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-powered 787 in late 2012, configured with 217 economy and 30 premium business seats .
A Boeing-owned 787 landed in Chile for the first time Tuesday at the International Air and Space Fair.
"The incorporation of the Boeing 787 to LAN’s fleet will further ensure the company's sustainable growth while preserving the environment and incorporating modern technology to deliver the best travel experience for LAN's passengers,” LAN COO Ignacio Cueto said.
