22DecLAN-TAM merger beneficial to Latin American airline industry

After more than a year since Chilean carrier LAN Airlines SA and Brazil’s TAM SA announced its US$3.2 billion merger in August 2010 that, according to Bloomberg data , will create the largest Latin American airline as well as the world’s second-largest airline by market capitalisation at US$11 billion, after Air China whose market value stands at US$11.3 billion, the airlines are close to completing the deal which is expected to take place by the end of the first quarter of 2012 with LAN’s shareholders approval now being secured .

The combined airline will carry 59 million passengers and have a revenue of US$13.2 billion a year on a pro-forma basis with around 300 airplanes at the commencement of the airlines’ operation under the merged LATAM umbrella, which LAN’s president Jorge Awad said “will quickly grow to over 500 planes considering planes already ordered”.

“We are setting the foundations for an airline that will definitely have a major presence in the world’s skies. We will attend more than 60 million passengers per year, reach 26 countries and have more than 100 destinations,” Awad conceded.
