Contract with Boeing  

In order to take advantage of the existing opportunity in the international long haul market, we have signed a new contract with Boeing for 4 new B777-300ERs plus 4 options, to be delivered in the middle of 2008. As a bridge to the delivery of the B777-300ERs, we have also signed with Boeing an interim contract for 3 MD11s, with duration of approximately 18 months. The MD11s should be delivered to TAM within the next 6 months. During the selection process, we weighed the pros and cons of the available proposals. The final decision for the B777-300ER was based on: 
•   Lower cost per seat 
•   Higher technological lifespan 
•  Creation of a “mix” of widebodies, with larger aircraft (seating approximately 370 passengers)and smaller aircraft (seating 222 passengers), which will allow for more gradual capacity increase per destination and therefore “smooth out” our growth 
•   Extension of a new credit line offered by EXIM Bank, lowering our future leasing costs
