Finally allowed to Lan to continue their flights between Rosario and Lima

He did, but noting that "the permission granted to LAN precarious for Rosario-Lima route is provided that the company uses ships, pilots and crew Argentina." Put another way, that he who does the flight is not only LAN Argentina Lan Peru, which involves taking people and bring planes. The answer came when the subject had generated quite a stir in Santa Fe since politicians and entrepreneurs attributed the lack of response by the ANAC for the continuation of flights not only intended to free competition to the company Aerolineas Argentina Argentinas but basically as a way to punish Santa Fe for choosing a political force other than the central government. LAN began operating the route in the format of exploratory flights within 180 days - term discretionary provisions by ANAC - in December 2010. Given the excellent results of the flight - between 2,500 and 2,700 passengers per month and a load factor above 85% - the company requested, as established in the agreements, the final award, a procedure that is activated through the diplomatic channel and the company initiated by the Embassy of Peru.

The diplomatic claimed a month ago "in view of time" (a full calendar year) a response to the request for granting the route Lima-Rosario under the regular format. There was no response. The ANAC said the issue was what Foreign Affairs, while the Foreign Ministry under his admitted that "the process was in the freezer." Schiavi's resolution says that the permission is "precarious for 180 days," which undoubtedly complicates the possibility of bringing planes and hire crew members and that will be resolved "when we have a bilateral meeting with the new Peruvian authorities." The secretary's statements are not deprived of transmitting a reproach to the government of Santa Fe, head of the airports in the province, where authorities asked the same regime that have cheaper rates with LAN Airlines "because this is a company all Argentines, "he said.

Meanwhile, the Chilean airline continues to await the decision on its merger with Tam. The resolution of a Chilean antitrust tribunal investigating the merger between Chilean airline LAN and TAM would be ready in August and not in July as expected, said Chief Justice of Chile's Free Competition (TDLC). Tomas Menchaca said the resolution is now in draft stage and it took more than they usually take on average for the complexity of the case. Meanwhile, the Chilean company's stock rise or fall with the news that they appear. Thus last week on optimism that the merger would be approved and that the resolution be known in July, LAN shares rose seven days a 10.04%, leading advances in the stock market in the period, 14 days and 14.3%. However, knowing the president's announcement of postponing TDLC for August, titles fell 0.7%. Also in the month so far add up to a 5.17% advance. LAN and TAM announced in August 2010 an agreement that would create the largest airline in Latin America, but it will be remembered the operation was suspended following an objection by the consumer organization Conadecus.

Optimism has grown in recent sessions supported in part by the antitrust agency ruled in favor of Germany, the Federal Cartel Office, which last week drew attention to the impact of the merger of two airlines on the route Santiago-Frankfurt, giving authorization to the operation without mitigation measures.
