The company will continue to use the e-TAM portal, its own distribution
channel based on Amadeus's technology platform, to make its content available
in Brazil. e-TAM will offer the same information contained in the Sabre,
Amadeus and Travelport GDSs. With it, travel agents and corporate customers
may choose the most convenient tool for their day-to-day use.

Paulo Castello Branco, TAM'S Vice President of Commerce and Planning,
states that the new partnerships will operate as an important tool to expand
the company's content distribution within the domestic market. "Today's
announcement is part of our strategy to be a global company and industry
leader. Travel agents and corporate customers will have efficient access to
our content, whether through e-TAM, Amadeus, Sabre or Travelport. In this
way, the client wins."

The agreements will not have any impact with the end user, who will still
be able to purchase airline tickets through travel agencies and TAM stores,
and also through the call center and the company's website.
