LATAM Airlines Ecuador

Aerolane Airlines (ICAO: LNE) operates as LATAM Airlines Ecuador, a subsidiary of the larger LATAM Airlines Group. The airline primarily focuses on passenger and cargo transport within Ecuador and to various international destinations.

LATAM Airlines Ecuador was founded in 2002 as LAN Ecuador and commenced operations on April 28, 2003. Following the rebranding of its parent company, LAN Airlines, it adopted the LATAM Airlines Ecuador identity. The airline's main operational base is Jose Joaquin de Olmedo Airport (GYE) in Guayaquil, with Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in Quito also serving as a key hub.

As part of the LATAM Group, the airline operates a diverse fleet that includes modern Airbus A319, A320, and A320neo aircraft for domestic and short-haul flights, as well as Boeing 767, 777, and 787 Dreamliner series for international routes. As of February 2025, the overall LATAM Group fleet consists of 347 aircraft, with an average age of 12.1 years, and is undergoing continuous renewal with a focus on fuel-efficient models. LATAM Airlines Ecuador operates scheduled domestic flights to 7 destinations within Ecuador and provides international connections, including to Madrid, as well as routes within Latin America, to the United States, and the Caribbean.

The airline was a member of the Oneworld Alliance until May 1, 2020, and currently maintains a close partnership with Delta Air Lines. LATAM Airlines Ecuador offers three primary cabin classes: Economy, Premium Economy, and Premium Business. The Premium Economy cabin provides passengers with enhanced legroom (by keeping the middle seat empty on some aircraft), increased baggage allowance, priority services (check-in, boarding, disembarkation, baggage collection), and access to LATAM's airport lounges. Premium Business offers a more private and comfortable experience with ergonomic seating and priority services, while Economy provides standard comfort, complimentary snacks on some flights, and in-flight entertainment on long-haul journeys. The airline is also implementing free Wi-Fi for LATAM Pass customers on domestic and regional narrow-body flights in Ecuador.
