This aerosolínea was legally established in July 2002 and start international commercial flights on 23 april 2003, díto your anniversary that we celebrate here todayí.

Previously known as LAN Ecuador as a trade name and AEROLANE S.A. (Líneas AéNational Areas of Ecuador S.A.) as legal name, provides freight forwarding service, mail and passengers combined on its approved domestic and international routes.

The share capital of LATAM Ecuador isán divided by HOLDCO Ecuador S.A with the 45% of the shares and LAN PAX GROUP S.A with the largestíto share with him 55%. The main base of operations of the airlineínea are located at the José Airporté Joaquín de Olmedo in Guayaquil and with a second HUB at the Mariscal Sucre International Airport in Quito.

In the beginning, LAN Ecuador flights were on the routes that the airlineínea managed to obtain a concession and that were previously operated by the disappeared Ecuadorian from Aviación there you areí as a startó flights to New York, Santiago de Chile and later Madrid.

Already in theñO 2007, the airíNea becomes part of Aerol's global allianceíneas oneworld alliance after unifying processes, systems and technologyías with the other subsidiaries of the holding company within the parámeters required by the alliance.

Six toñundress themés of its beginning of international flights and by then already flying to Miami and Buenos Aires, the airínea was authorized by the National Aviation Councilón Civil – CNAC and iniciar su operationón judgementéstic, that in one way or another, was motivated by the complaints generated by the airlinesílines of the élittle Tame, AeroGal and Saereo, which indicated that an aerosolíecuadorian nea, to fly international flights and compete fairly in the market, debíto alsoén operate cabotage.

Así it's like the 6 april 2009, LAN Ecuador starts Sunday flightséstics with the Guayaquil to Quito route, flying with 7 daily frequencies from Monday to Friday and 4 on weekends operating with the más smallñof the holding company's fleet in those yearsños, el Airbus A318.

During theñO 2014 and due to the reductionón of demand on sun flightséaesthetic and international from Ecuador, the airínea is forced to reduce its offer in all its destinations and change the fleet once againás.
