New service will depart from Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo
en route to Peru’s Capital

SAO PAULO, Brazil, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Starting October
17, TAM (NYSE: TAM and Bovespa: TAMM4) will begin to offer its new daily
flight service to Lima, Peru. The flight will depart from Guarulhos
International Airport in Sao Paulo en route to Jorge Chavez International
Airport in Peru’s capital. This will be the 17th international destination
served by TAM.

Modern Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring 12 executive class and 144
economy class seats, for a total capacity of 156 passengers, will service
the route.

The flight will take off from Sao Paulo at 8:25 a.m., and will land in
Lima at 10:35 a.m. The return flight from Lima to Brazil will depart at
11:45 a.m. and arrive in Sao Paulo at 7:30 p.m. (local time).

“The start of service to Lima gives continuity to our strategy of
expanding TAM’s international network,” says Paulo Castello Branco, TAM’s
Vice President of Sales and Planning. “Offering passengers new destinations
and possibilities of connections is part of our search for excellence of
service, one of TAM’s three pillars of performance, together with
management and technical-operational excellence.”

The schedule for the new flights will allow for connections in Sao
Paulo to destinations served by TAM in Europe (Frankfurt, Paris, Milan,
London and Madrid), as well as locations served by the airline in South
America, particularly Buenos Aires, Argentina. Beyond this, it will allow
for domestic connections with the principal destinations served by TAM in
Brazil.

Executive Class and special services

One thing that sets this route apart is the offering of seats in
Executive Class, which allows passengers to fly to Peru in greater comfort.
Those who fly Executive will also have VIP lounges in both airports at
their disposal.

On board, travelers will have access to every one of TAM’s special
services, and will also enjoy additional privileges such as free cell phone
rental, for which they will only be charged for calls made abroad, and, for
passengers in Executive Class, executive car service in Lima from the
airport to the hotel and back. These services are subject to contract
conditions (available at: http://www.tam.com.br / Servicos Especiais TAM [TAM
Special Services]) and can be requested when making reservations with at
least 24 hours before flight time notice.

Promotional fares for the launch of the route will start at US$ 585.00
in economy class and US$ 2,041.00 in executive class for round trip
service, not including fees. These rates are valid for tickets issued up to
October 17 for flights taken by December 1.

For more information, reservations and ticket purchase, customers can
get in touch with the TAM Service Center by calling 4002-5700 (from state
capitals) or 0800-570-5700 (from other locations), or via http://www.tam.com.br
