one<\/b>world\u00ae <\/sup> today marked the 10th<\/sup> anniversary of LAN Airlines joining the grouping by reaffiming its determination to remain not just as the world’s premier airline alliance \u2013 but Latin America’s leading airline alliance too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since it joined the grouping, LAN Airlines has added three of its affiliates based in other South American countries to the alliance \u2013 first LAN Peru and then, in 2007, LAN Argentina and LAN Ecuador.<\/span><\/div>\n
This provides one<\/b>world with the most extensive network within South America of any of the global alliances.<\/span><\/div>\n
For much of its 10 years as part of one<\/b>world, LAN has been the only airline throughout the continent to be a member of any of the global airline alliances.\u00a0 For much of the past year, it has been the only airline south of Mexico to be part of any of the global air groupings.<\/span><\/div>\n
LAN has played a key role in establishing one<\/b>world as the alliance leader not just in South America \u2013 but throughout Latin America, supported since November by Central America and Mexico’s leading airline Mexicana.<\/span><\/div>\n
one<\/b>world’s lead in serving the region is strengthened further by its membership also featuring the leading airlines serving Latin America from North America, in American Airlines, and from Europe, in Iberia.<\/span><\/div>\n
And with LAN, Iberia and Mexicana as members, one<\/b>world is also the leading Spanish-speaking airline alliance.<\/span><\/div>\n
One of one<\/b>world’s key aims is to make it easier for travellers to reach more places around the world more easily, by connecting together the networks of its member airlines.\u00a0 This enables each of its member airlines to offer customers travel to hundreds of destinations it do not serve itself, flying on trusted, high quality partners.<\/span><\/div>\n
In its 10 years as a one<\/b>world member, some 2.5 million passengers have flown on LAN after connecting from the carrier’s partners in the alliance.<\/span><\/div>\n
With LAN serving some 70 destinations around the world, through its extensive network offering full connectivity within Latin America while also linking the region with North America, Europe and the South Pacific, one<\/b>world is the obvious choice for travellers who want to include Latin America in a round-the-world itinerary.<\/span> <\/div>\n
one<\/b>world is the only global airline grouping offering travelers to South America the convenience of an alliance air pass for flying around the continent, using the services of any of its airlines, through its one<\/b>world Visit South America fare. <\/span><\/div>\n
It is also the only alliance offering South American itineraries as part of multi-continent fares.\u00a0 one<\/b>world Circle Atlantic enables globe-trotters to combine journeys through South America with travel through North America and Europe, while its Circle Pacific, offers for travel through South America, along with North America, Asia and Australia\/New Zealand.<\/span><\/div>\n
LAN Chief Executive Enrique Cueto said: “As an airline that aspires to be one of the global leaders, LAN is proud to fly alongside some of the best airlines from each region in what is undoubtedly the world’s premier airline alliance and the leader in our Latin American home.<\/span><\/div>\n
“Being part of one<\/b>world for the past decade has brought both LAN and our customers huge advantages \u2013 in particular by being part of a truly global network served by partners with the same belief in high quality standards.\u00a0 We look forward to celebrating many more landmarks with our fellow one<\/b>world members.”<\/span><\/div>\n

one<\/b>world Managing Partner John McCulloch added: “one<\/b>world’s focus has always been on the quality of our members, rather than the quantity, while offering our customers the best service to the places they really want to travel, on the highest quality collection of airlines.\u00a0 LAN has played a critical role in enabling one<\/b>world to achieve its position of leadership, not just in its Latin American home region, but throughout the world.\u00a0 It’s a leadership position we intend together to guard very jealously.”<\/span> <\/p>\n
