MTU Aero Engines the first company to obtain civil approval for the maintenance of the TP400-D6 engine
July 31, 2015
Munich, July 30, 2015 – MTU Aero Engines, Germany’s leading engine manufacturer, has received approval from the Federal Aviation Office (LBA) to maintain the propulsion system powering the A400M military transport aircraft. This makes MTU the first of the partners in Europrop International (EPI), the TP400-D6 consortium, to hold such an unlimited license for the maintenance (in accordance with EASA 145 standards) of the entire propulsion system.
Since the A400M military airlifter presently is – and in the foreseeable future will remain – the only application for the TP400-D6, this unlimited approval by a civil agency marks a milestone. The engine is being produced under a civil type certificate, but its operation by purely military users did not fall within the scope of the certification. “After two years of intensive discussions with representatives of civil and military agencies we have now finally reached this goal, which is of importance to the TP400-D6 program and its customers,” says Gerhard Baehr, MTU’s Director TP400-D6/Tyne Programs.
Plans now are to implement a set of harmonized military airworthiness rules, the EMAR (European Military Airworthiness Requirements) regulations, which are essentially based on the civil regulations, for adoption across Europe.

· LAN will begin operating the service on November 4 of this year from Santiago de Chile, via São Paulo, Brazil.
· The company will offer 7 weekly flights on its new Boeing 787s, which will allow for a 13% increase in the number of seats offered on the route.
Santiago, July 31, 2015. – To strengthen connectivity with its international markets, today, LATAM Airlines Group began selling tickets for its Santiago – São Paulo – Milan service to be operated by LAN using its modern fleet of Boeing 787s. Tickets are available for purchase through all LAN and TAM sales channels.
Therefore, as of November 4, LAN will operate seven weekly flights from the Santiago International Airport, via São Paulo, to the Milan-Malpensa Airport.
The route operated between São Paulo and Milan is currently being operated using Airbus A330s. Beginning in November, the route will be operated by LAN using Boeing 787 airliners. Benefits of using the Boeing 787 family includes less fuel consumption as compared to similar aircraft, and reducing environmental impact and CO2 emission by 20%.
“This new flight will allow us to connect Santiago and Milan, via São Paulo, using our new Boeing 787s, which offers 13% more seats and an improved executive class, with cutting-edge in-flight entertainment, thereby allowing us to connect more people between South America and Europe. With this we reinforce our commitment to improving travel experience, reducing the environmental impact of our operations and serving as a bridge between South America and the rest of the world,” said Roberto Alvo, CEO of International Business and Alliances at LATAM Airlines Group.
The executive also touched on the renovation of the new terminal 3 at the Guarulhos Airport, mentioning its “first-class infrastructure, allowing for shorter connection times in flights via São Paulo and providing passengers with an improved travel experience.”
LATAM Airlines Group’s presence in Europe
LATAM Airlines Group currently operates five routes between South America and Europe: Madrid, Milan, London, Paris, Frankfurt and as of October 1 of this year will begin operations to Barcelona, from São Paulo. Furthermore, LAN will add three additional structural services between Santiago and Madrid as of September 2015 and TAM will strengthen its operations between São Paulo and Madrid during this year’s high season, from June 25 to September 30.
Additionally, LAN and TAM passengers have the unique opportunity of traveling to Europe using the “Multidestination” option, which allows them to reach the continent via one city and return from a different city for a very similar price to what they would pay for a round trip to a single city.

Nueva baja de acción de LAN
July 29, 2015
Una nueva baja sufrió la acción de LAN, situación que según los expertos en política monetaria, es solo consecuencia del difícil momento por el que atraviesa la economía del Brasil, cuya moneda ha seguido depreciándose frente al dolar.
Desgraciadamente los ingresos de LATAM en un 48% están expresados en la moneda brasileña, lo que se refleja en el balance de la compañía al momento de traspasarlos a dólares.
Según los economistas, de no haber un cambio significativo en la economía brasileña, es improbable se vea un repunte en el valor de la acción de la aerolínea, la que ya hace cuatro años experimenta igual situación.
