LAN Argentina was a subsidiary of the Chilean LAN Airlines group (later LATAM Airlines Group) operating domestic and international routes in Argentina. It provided scheduled passenger services linking Buenos Aires with major Argentine cities as well as international destinations across South America and beyond.
The airline operated under the IATA code 4M and was part of the broader LAN brand family, which included LAN Chile, LAN Peru, LAN Ecuador, and LAN Colombia. As a member of the LAN group, it benefited from shared resources, codeshare agreements, and the group's membership in the oneworld alliance.
Following the merger of LAN Airlines and TAM Airlines to form LATAM Airlines Group in 2012, LAN Argentina was gradually rebranded under the LATAM identity. The airline faced significant operational and financial challenges in Argentina, and LATAM Airlines Group ultimately ceased its Argentine operations in May 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and broader financial difficulties.
Hubs & network
LAN Argentina primarily operated from Jorge Newbery Airfield (AEP) and Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) in Buenos Aires.
Fleet
LAN Argentina operated a fleet primarily composed of Airbus A320 family narrow-body aircraft for domestic and regional routes.
