Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano - Barry Lloyd

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.
