LAN Airlines Moves Into Terminal 8 at JFK With American Airlines

American Airlines and Latin America-based LAN Airlines announced an expanded relationship in which LAN Airlines affiliates, including LAN Chile, LAN Peru, and LAN Ecuador, will co-locate in Terminal 8 with American at New York's JFK Airport. LAN's move into Terminal 8 marks the fourth oneworld® alliance carrier, besides American, to operate from the terminal, significantly improving convenience for customers by housing the airlines in the same facility.

In November 2011, American increased its commercial cooperation with LAN when it received approval from the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) to begin a codeshare agreement with LAN Ecuador, which provides customers of both airlines more choices and greater connectivity when traveling between the United States, Latin America and across each airline's respective network.
