South America’s Leading Airline to Offer Service between Toronto and
Santiago, Chile, starting in September

MIAMI, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — LAN Airlines expands the reach
of its international network today by announcing new service to Santiago,
Chile, from Toronto, Canada starting September 3rd, 2008. Once in Santiago,
passengers have access to flights to multiple destinations within Chile and
Argentina. The company will offer five flights per week to Santiago via New
York City on its modern fleet of Boeing 767 aircraft.

LAN flights will operate from Toronto to Santiago on Mondays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays providing reliable
alternatives for passengers traveling to the South America region.
Passengers wishing to travel between Toronto and New York now have another
carrier choice for this popular route. In New York, passengers can also
connect to Lima, Peru with LAN Airlines.

“LAN has had its sights set on Canada for quite some time,” said Pablo
Yunis, Vice President, North/Central America, LAN Airlines. “Toronto is a
very important market for travel to South America, both for leisure and
business travel, as well as for travelers who are returning to their
homelands. Our goal is to connect South America with one of the most
important cultural and financial centers in North America and showcase our
signature service to Canadian travelers.”

LAN has long been hailed as the premier airline in South America.
Following an investment of $100 million, the airline boasts a modern fleet
of Boeing 767 aircraft for international flights and continues to set the
standard for travel to the region. LAN Premium Business Class offers
full-flat seats to South America, a wine list selected by Latin America’s
only master sommelier and meals prepared by the region’s leading chefs. The
entire cabin is outfitted with an on-demand in-flight entertainment system
that features music, movies and games. Economy Class passengers can also
enjoy new seats which recline at a greater angle and a seat cushion that
slides forward to increase comfort.

“We are committed to every one of our passengers,” said Pablo Yunis.
“It is our desire to tend to them with a warm and positive disposition in a
welcoming environment while providing the excellence in customer service
and the best travel experience.”

The Toronto-New York-Santiago route will operate from Terminal 3 at
Pearson International Airport.
