Boliviana de Aviación (IATA: OB, ICAO: BOV) is the flag carrier of Bolivia, established in 2007 and wholly owned by the Bolivian Government. Headquartered in Cochabamba, the airline operates its primary hub at Jorge Wilstermann International Airport, with additional international operations from Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. As the largest airline in Bolivia and the sixth largest in South America, BoA serves a network of domestic and regional routes connecting major cities across the continent.
The airline's fleet comprises four aircraft families: the Airbus A330 for long-haul international routes, Boeing 737 and Boeing 767 for medium to long-distance flights, and Bombardier CRJ-200LR turboprops for regional services. This mixed fleet allows BoA to operate efficiently across varied route lengths and passenger volumes, from small regional airports to major international hubs.
BoA operates the Elévate frequent-flyer program, rewarding regular passengers with miles and benefits. The airline maintains a presence across South America's aviation network, playing a crucial role in connecting Bolivia to neighbouring countries and supporting regional air traffic. Check-in and baggage policies follow international standards, with online check-in available through the airline's website and tiered baggage allowances for domestic and international flights.
