The Latin American specialist originally announced in 2015 a $3.5 billion deal for 22 Boeing 787-9s to be delivered by 2022.

However, following a rethink the order has now been increased to 27 of the aircraft within the same period.

A total of eight of the aircraft have been delivered in the first phase of the order with the second phase seeing another two delivered in February 2018.

Phase two will then see a further five delivered between April and December next year.

The final 12 will be introduced progressively between 2020 and 2022.
