LAN Airlines (Chile) (Santiago) announced its intention to order 50 new Airbus A320 Family aircraft. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed at the Farnborough International Air Show will be the largest single airline order for Airbus in Latin America and brings LAN’s total Airbus orders to 152 aircraft.

The commitment includes 10 A321s, a new aircraft type for LAN.

LAN placed a firm order for 30 Airbus A320 Family aircraft in December 2009. The airline currently operates 58 Airbus aircraft.
