- International scheduled destinations: Buenos Aires, Madrid, Miami, New York.

[edit] Fleet
LAN Ecuador does not have aircraft registered in its own name, but it uses 767-300 aircraft from LAN which by the early 2007 will have full-flat 180-degree recline, which is available from only five companies in the world, offering greater comfort for sleeping in a completely full-flat horizontal position. Down comforters and soft pillows will create a true bed experience, and dividing panels between seats will offer maximum privacy during the flight. Also the inflight entertainment will also reach a superior level with larger 15.4-inch individual video monitors that offer better resolution and an updated audio-visual content with an audio and video on demand system that allows passengers to choose from eight films and 20 short programs with the ability to fast-forward, rewind or pause selected films.
