With the addition of the new Airbus A320, TAM increases its fleet to 106
aircraft (86 Airbus, 17 F-100s and 3 MD-11s). The company plans to end 2007
with 112 airplanes in operation.

The new fleet planned by the company foresees the incorporation of 32
total aircraft this year (of which 15 have already been added). During the
presentation of its 2007 first quarter results, TAM announced the acquisition
of an additional three wide-body Airbus aircraft by the end of the year, in
addition to others previously planned, and said it will increase the number
of aircraft in operation in long-haul international routes to 18 -- 15 will
be Airbus and three MD-11s. The company projects increasing its available
seat kilometers (ASKs) in international operations by 70% in 2007.

Additionally, TAM has signed contracts with Airbus for the incorporation
of another 54 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled through 2010. The contracts
also contain 20 options for airplanes from the A320 family that may be
exercised by the company, if warranted by market growth. TAM also announced
the purchase of eight new Boeing 777-300ERs, with deliveries expected from
beginning next year. TAM's strategic planning calls for a fleet with 141
aircraft in operation by 2011.

The new A320s, used in domestic routes and in flights to South American
destinations operated by TAM, will meet the increased demand seen in recent
months. In the first five months of this year, passenger air traffic in
Brazil's domestic market grew 13.6%. In the same period, TAM grew 26% in
comparison to the same period in 2006, according to official data from the
National Civil Aviation Agency.
