ILAN 'S Fa/ry into theA rgentlneM arket
LAN soughtentry into the A rgentine com m ercialairline m arketin the early 2000s. Atthe tim e,Argentina prohibited foreign-ow ned airlines from operating in the country,
so LAN looked fora localArgentinecorfipany in which itcouldacquirea minority interest. ln 2004 and 2005,LAN engaged in discussionswith governm entofficialsfrom A rgentina'sM inistry ofTransportation abouta variety of issuessurrounding itsentry into the
market,including:(a)which localairline itcould acquire (thegovem menthadtoapproveits
acquisition);(b)revisingthelaw topennitLAN toownamajorityofthatcompany;(c)granting LAN additionalroutesw ithin Argentina itcould operate once ithad established operationsin the
country;(d)raisingthemaximum allowableticketprices,whichweresetbythegovernment' ,and (e)laborissuesthataroseafteritenteredthemarket. 9.
By early 2005,LAN had agreed w ith offlcials from the Argentine M inistry of
Transportation thatitwould acquire the defunctArgentine airline,A ero 2000,w hich had no
active operations. A spartofthatagreem ent,LA N also agreed to em ploy the laborforcesfrom two otherdefunctairlines,LA FSA and Southern W inds. ln return forthatcom m itment, Argentine governm entofficialsagreed thatthe officialswould revise the law so thatLAN could
ownamajorityoftheairlineithadacquired,wouldraisethecaponmaximum airfares,and would grantLAN additionaldom estic routes. How ever,LAN 'Srelationship with the laborunionsrepresenting itsinherited workforce began deteriorating during thistim e fram e. The tension focused on the so-called ttone function rule,''which m andated thateach employee could engage in only one,narrow ly-defined
type ofwork. A lthough LAN 'SIaborunionsdid notstrictly enforce the rule in practice,the
