Boliviana de Aviación, often referred to as simply BoA, is the flag carrier airline of the Plurinational State of Bolivia and is wholly owned by the country's government. It was established in October 2007 and began operations in March 2009. The airline is headquartered in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, with its main hub at Viru Viru International Airport and focus cities at El Alto International Airport and Jorge Wilstermann International Airport. Most international flights, however, including long-haul services to Madrid and Miami operate out of Viru Viru in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Boliviana de Aviación currently flies to 13 destinations in 5 countries and is the largest airline in Bolivia in terms of fleet size and passengers carried.
The airline was established as a state-owned enterprise in 2007 under the government of president Evo Morales as the successor airline of former flag carrier Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano (LAB), which ceased operations after 87 years of continuous operation and in 2011, following the demise of the country's second largest airline, AeroSur, Boliviana de Aviación expanded its network to international destinations and became the only major airline in Bolivia.
Boliviana de Aviación previously operated an all-Boeing fleet, which consisted of Boeing 737s and Boeing 767s and it recently ordered two Bombardier CRJ200 regional aircraft to begin regional services under the airline's new regional branch BoA Regional. The airline is undergoing a major expansion, it is currently updating its Boeing 737 Classic fleet to newer Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft and is planning to add new destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean
