Even in aviation circles, the name Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano is not a name
that quickly comes to mind, but its story is one which deserves to be
told. Its aircraft were not seen as regularly as those of other South
American airlines, perhaps because its routes were mainly domestic, with
an international network only to some of the larger South American
cities and a few in the US, together with an intermittent service to
Madrid. However, as one of South America's oldest airlines, its history
is a fascinating one, not least because of its struggles with the
operational challenges of the Bolivian landscape. With a full history of
all the aircraft operated, along with some rare photographs, this book
aims to tell the story of Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, from its beginnings in
1925 through to its demise in 2010, and examines some of the political
and financial challenges the airline faced through the decades.
