Jag minns att jag hörde något om att SAS var involverad i detta bolag en gång i tiden och hittade denna info till slut på deras hemsida. SAS köpte en del av bolaget i slutet av 80-talet men sålde tillbaka innehavet efter fem år. Så SAS ägde en del av dem ett tag
LAN was founded as a state enterprise in 1929 to provide passenger, cargo, and postal air transportation services.
After operating for 60 years as a state enterprise, in 1989, the Chilean government sold 51% of its equity stake to domestic investors and to Scandinavian Airlines Systems (SAS), thus beginning the process of privatization.
This process came to a culmination in 1994, when the current controlling shareholders, together with other major shareholders, acquired 98.7% of the company's equity, including all holdings still owned by the government. Since then, LAN has launched a program of decisive domestic and international expansion.
