LAN Colombia also operated a few of LAN’s A318’s in late 2012 early 2013 before they were transferred to Avianca Brasil the same for a couple of 767’s. They were also flown by LAN Chile crew but using LAN Colombia codes and callsigns. They weren’t painted with the flag so they were visually identical to the LAN A318 in-game and the 767 I’ve suggested previously.
They also were supposed to receive a couple of 787’s but that didn’t go anywhere.
Why should this airline be added?
Founded in October 1980 as AIRES, this airline flew routes around Colombia, the Caribbean, Central America, South America and into the USA. It was taken over by LAN Airlines Group in 2010 and rebranded to being LAN Colombia in December 2011 before eventually becoming part of LATAM Airlines in 2016 where it still flies to this day, but all the aircraft are owned and operated by LATAM so it actually is an airline only by name now.I have made it its own separate airline as it operated types that no other LAN Airline did, that being the Dash 8’s and the 737-700. It would be nice to see in-game, giving LAN a few more types which would have the range to reach SXM and most of the Americas for the 737-700.
