LAN plans to buy fifty copies of the A320 family.
It is the largest order ever received by Airbus in South America and bringing to 152 the number of aircraft acquired by the Chilean company with the Airbus. Of these fifty are ten single-aisle A321s, a new device for the company.




LAN has also chosen to equip its seventy aisle in order CFM56-5B.
This choice for thirty units of family she has ordered in December 2009, and forty A320 Order today. No engine has been chosen for the A321. This part of the order is valued at two billion dollars and includes a maintenance agreement.
