Just seen this on Airliners.net. LAN Chile are now simply called LAN and they have unveiled a new logo and livery. What do you think? I think it´s very smart and has managed to keep the classiness of the current (now old) livery while being fresh and modern.

Thanks for that Bmused. That would make sense.

What does LAN stand for by the way ?
By: Bmused55 - 24th March 2004 at 10:15
Looks like a near carbon copy of Lila Design’s concept for Crystal Airways and for EuropAir (A virtual airline)

The new livery looks pretty good, if somewhat BMI reminiscent?
By: steve rowell - 24th March 2004 at 10:08
Thats a very classy livery
