SANTIAGO, Chile, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — LAN Airlines S.A. and its subsidiaries, (“LAN” or “the Company”) (NYSE: LFL; IPSA: LAN), one of the leading airlines in Latin America, today reported its preliminary monthly traffic statistics and punctuality indicators for June 2009.

System passenger traffic for June increased 9.3% as capacity rose 9.1%. As a result, the Company’s load factor increased 0.1 points to 72.0%. International passenger traffic accounted for approximately 71% of total passenger traffic.

Domestic passenger traffic in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador rose 25.9% as capacity increased 31.2%. As a consequence, the domestic load factor for the month decreased 2.9 points to 68.8%.

International passenger traffic for June rose 3.7% as capacity increased 1.6%. Accordingly, the international passenger load factor for the month increased 1.5 points to 73.3%. International capacity was mainly driven by an increase in operations on regional routes, as well as routes to Europe and the United States, partially offset by certain capacity adjustments on routes to Mexico.

In line with the decrease in global import and export markets, during the month of June cargo traffic decreased 16.2%. This decrease was mainly due to a slowdown in import and export markets in Latin America. In line with the decrease in demand, capacity fell 9.4%, mainly through the reduction of ACMI leases, generating a 5.3 point decrease in the load factor to 66.3%.

During June, 92.8% of the Company’s total flights left on time based on a fifteen-minute standard (all departures leaving within fifteen minutes of the scheduled departure time are considered as “on-time”). This represented an increase of 5.8 points compared to June 2008.
