TAM joins Star Alliance

TAM AIRLINES, now the leading Brazilian carrier, has officially joined the Star Alliance network, putting the United/Lufthansa led group firmly back into South America.  TAM Airlines flies to more than 40 points in Brazil and most major points across South America.  Over the past years, the airline has expanded its intercontinental network to cover a variety of destinations in the USA and Europe, many of these being Star Alliance hubs.  All in all, the Star Alliance network now counts 27 member carriers, offering more than 21,050 daily flights to 1,167 destinations in 181 countries.  TAM Airlines’ joining completes a process which originally began in 2006 with the first informal negotiations. www.tam.com.br
