Bolivia
The civil aviation sector in Bolivia is comprised of a few main airlines. In 2007 the national flag carrier Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano (LAB) collapsed due to financial reasons. Since 2009, LAB has been re-established by joining an alliance with Aerosur sa, with the main hub at El Alto International Airport.
Bolivia operates under the ‘Andean open skies pact’ and is also in Mercosur's Fortaleza accord multilateral agreement.

Despite this temporary setback Palmair, which claims to be Britain’s oldest tour operator, is one of the industry’s survivors, having been in business as the ‘in-house’ airline of a travel agent and tour operator, Bath Travel, since 1958 – 52 years.
Gol-TAM: Two Strategies gain overwhelming success
A discussion about Brazilian – or even South American aviation – is incomplete without Gol, with its low-fare strategy, and TAM, with a legacy strategy complete with regional airline feeder in Pantanal and membership in Star Alliance.
