BOA, a new Bolivian airline, is owned and operated by the Bolivian government. It competes against privately-owned Bolivian airlines such as Aerosur, Aerocon, Amaszonas and others by offering lower prices. It operates out of La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz and flies primarily domestic flights to these and other cities, but recently started a flight to Buenos Aires and has plans to expand internationally. Other airlines have accused it of unfair competition, attempting to put them out of business, and not adhering to the same rules all other airlines must adhere to. Passengers, however, are enjoying the lower airfares.

There is no self-check in or curb-side check in for this airline at airports in Bolivia. Always check with the airline and/or your travel agent prior to your trip concerning issues such as government holidays (they differ at various times throughout the year); flight delays (infrequent) and cancellations (also infrequent); and special assistance you need during your flight or upon arrival.

Bolivian airports are small, very basic and limited in terms of the services provided. Only major cities have customs or immigration offices. Always check with your travel agent and the Bolivian embassy or consulate in your country to make sure you have all the proper documentation for your flight to Bolivia.
