History
LAN Airlines wanted to expand into Colombia, so in 2006 Aeroasis was legally established at Section 33 from GEPA, with the support of LAN Airlines. The airline would be a subsidiary of the LATAM Airlines Group in 2012, when it started operations. LAN Airlines started its expansion at the beginning of 2011 with AIRES purchase and was to finish when Aeroasis started flying. However, after AIRES' purchase, LAN changed plans and decided to stop the Aeroasis plan. The airliner's planes were sent to LAN Colombia.
Fleet
Aeroasis had two Airbus A320s that were adapting in El Dorado International Airport, to start operations in 2012. The next three planes would create a five-plane fleet.

Both planes were actually in LAN Colombia livery.
