The story

LATAM Ecuador was established in July 2002 as LAN Ecuador and started operations on 23 April 2003 with two Boeing 767-300ERs operated by LAN Airlines.

In 2007, the airline became a member of the Oneworld alliance as a subsidiary of LAN Airlines. On 24 December 2008, LAN Ecuador received approval to begin domestic operations, which were launched by 6 April 2009, with the Airbus A318.

On 26 May 2020, LATAM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States due to economic problems attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation, although they are currently operating and have been negotiating terms. In August, the company announced its second-quarter results, projecting improved operational prospects.
