Boliviana de Aviacion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boliviana de Aviacion (BoA) is a planned airline in Bolivia. It is being established by the Bolivian government under Evo Morales, replacing the troubled Lloyd Aereo Boliviano as flag carrier.[1]

The airline will be headquartered in Cochabamba.[2] Details of the airline's proposed fleet have not been released.[2] It is intended that the airline begin flights in the first quarter of 2008, initially flying domestic routes and expanding to international destinations after eight months.[3] The government says that it aims to "democratize air transport in Bolivia" through the airline, although also says that it will operate under commercial conditions and without subsidies.[1] The company's General Manager will hold office for a five year term, and will be appointed by the President of Bolivia.[2]
