TAM Expands Agreement with LAN Argentina

TAM and LAN Argentina are expanding the flight codeshare agreement signed between the companies to offer more convenience and comfort for passengers who wish to travel between Brazil and Argentina.

The partnership now allows TAM to use its own code to sell flights operated by LAN Argentina to the cities of Bariloche, Comodoro Rivadavia, Cordoba, Mendoza, Rio Gallegos, Salta and Ushuaia. For its part, LAN Argentina has the rights to sell TAM flights departing from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to different Brazilian destinations.

The agreement goes into effect for flights beginning on January 4, 2010, but passengers can already buy tickets issued through both companies’ reservation systems. In addition to the destinations mentioned, TAM and LAN Argentina hold a codeshare agreement for flights between Sao Paulo (Guarulhos) and Buenos Aires (Ezeiza). The partnership enables passengers to benefit from a simplification of flight reservations, convenient connections and a single airline ticket and baggage check until the final destination.
