NOTE 5 - SEGMENTAL INFORMATION


As of December 31, 2019, the Company considers that it has a single operating segment, that of Air Transport. This segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and is based on the way in which the business is managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes, as well as reassignment (airplanes, crew, personnel, etc.) within the network, which implies a functional interrelation between all of them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is one of the most common worldwide in the airline industry.


Until June 2019, the Company presented two operating segments, the one corresponding to Air transport and the Multiplus coalition and loyalty program segment, discussed in Note 1, the Company Multiplus S.A. Administrator of the Coalition and Loyalty Program Multiplus merged into TAM Linhas Aereas S.A., ceasing to be an entity with independent administration. The Multiplus coalition and Loyalty program, which was defined as an operating segment, due to this independent administration, became part of the Air Transport segment together with the LATAM Pass and LATAM fidelidades programs.


The company has restated the information corresponding to December 31, 2018 and 2017 for the presentation of a single segment of information.

The Company has no customers that individually represent more than 10% of sales.
