LAN Airlines signed a deal for 32 B-787 and 4 B-777

LAN Airlines has ordered 26 B-787 airplanes from Boeing, and will lease an additional six 787-9s from International Lease Finance Corp.
In addition to the Dreamliner order, Boeing said LAN also has committed to acquiring four 777 Freighters -- two from Boeing and two to be leased from GE Commercial Aviation Services (GECAS).
The order for 26 Dreamliners, consisting of a mix of 787-8s and 787-9s, is worth approximately $ 4.5 billion at published list prices. The two 777 Freighters are similarly valued at approximately $ 500 million. The two direct-purchase 777 Freighters were previously attributed to an unidentified customer on Boeing`s orders and deliveries Web site.
This deal for the B-787 is the largest one from Latin America. The other LatinAmerican companies that have ordered the Dreamliner are: Aeromexico (3 leased, 2 purchased) and Avianca, which has ordered 10.
