What really happened was LAN operated Chilean registered aircrafts, made sure every ex-EZE service that ends internationally such as EZE-MIA originates in SCL and did not integrate all of LAFSCA’s workforce into LAN Argentina.
I agree that the International flights (MIA-EZE-MIA) are operated by LAN (Chile) with Chile registered aircraft, but the domestic flights seem to be operated by Argentinan aircraft such as
LV-BBI,
LV-BBM,
LV-BBO,
LV-BCB and
LV-BCD.
