No, I've only reported what's been in the press, it's just scraps of info. eg. Lamia's total of $16K was reported by Minister Claros, in a previously posted link.
The reported US$35k per month for the LaMia CP2933 is from here:
Albacete cobraba un alquiler de $us 35 mil por la única aeronave con licencia de LaMia | ANF - Agencia de Noticias Fides
Then I compared it to 2016 leasing prices for Avro RJ85, for example:
New RJs Cause Incumbent Types to Fall - Aircraft Value News
but I'm not qualified to make any inferences from that, that's for some of your members to make. Is 35K a month a significantly cheaper deal in S. American context?
don't have any real financial info - just more scraps:
""A flight in other airlines costs between $ 150,000 and $ 200,000," he said. "LaMia's ranged between $ 80,000 and $ 100,000," he added"

on the alleged plan to lease the five 757 - source is either fibbing or maybe they really did have a wealthy backer? ( Paraguayan CP Encina's wife said previously, he was there as there was plan to make him a future LaMia rep in Paraguay so perhaps they had big plans.)

What FAB say that they are owed by Lamia - US$ 48k

confirmation of LaMia's insurance, apparently:

and here, Vargas Snr (now in "preventative custody",) seems to say it would have cost them $6k to re-fuel.

Bigger news was that another journalist is asking how LaMia could operate the 11th Nov flight with the Argentine team. Belo Horizonte, Brazil to Buenos Aries ( it's on the chart on previous page) when they do not have the bilateral agreements either, Brazil's ANAC now under fire for corruption too:
"This company should not be allowed to fly from Argentina to Brazil. Not part of what is known as the "Seventh Freedom" Chicago Convention …...there should be bilateral agreements, which in this case do not exist. As researched, at the time of application for authorization for this flight plan, the official who was in charge ANAC in Ezeiza is called Gregorio Borda and his boss is the General Manager of the ANAC, Juan Pedro Iirigoin. ANAC under the Ministry of Transport of the Nation, headed by William Dietrich. The pilot in that journey was the M Quiroga....."

ANAC's response to journalist's query is in Portugese, maybe there's a Brazilian FM who can translate it?
Anyway link^ explains the connection between the company "Star" and how Lamia tendered for the flights (2 simultaneous bids) and the trail that leads to the Football. Asscn. and on and up, presumably.
