LAN and TAM Airlines, two of Latin America’s leading airlines and part
of the LATAM Airlines Group -- one of Airbus largest customers in terms
of orders, in-service aircraft and backlog -- took delivery of their
first Airbus A320s equipped with Sharklets. Powered by CFM, the LAN and
TAM aircraft were delivered this week and will begin operating domestic
routes within Chile and Brazil. The two airlines combined have ordered
380 aircraft and have more than 240 aircraft in operation. Their joint
Airbus backlog totals nearly 180 aircraft.
Sharklets are made from light-weight composites and are 2.4 meters tall. They are an option on new-build A320 Family aircraft and allow Airbus’ airline customers to reduce fuel burn up to four percent over longer sectors and reduce approximately 1,000 tons of CO2 emissions per aircraft per year. Sharklets offer operators the flexibility of either adding an additional 100 nautical miles range or increased payload capability of up to 450 kilograms.
