Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano
S.A.M.
(abbreviated
LAB
and internationally known as
LAB Airlines
), was the
flag carrier
and principal
airline
of
Bolivia
from 1925 until it ceased operations in 2010. Before its demise it was headquartered in
Cochabamba
and had its main
hubs
at
Jorge Wilstermann International Airport
and
Viru Viru International Airport
. Founded in September 1925, it was the second oldest airline in South America after
Avianca
and one of the
oldest airlines in the world
.
The beginnings
Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano was founded by Guillermo Kyllmann in Cochabamba on September 15, 1925. The name was chosen after the British insurance market
Lloyd's of London
for its image of safety and security. Flight operations were launched on 23 September using
Junkers F.13
aircraft, the first of which had been a present from the
German community in Bolivia
.
In July 1930, Lloyd Aéreo began to serve international routes, with scheduled flights between
La Paz
, where it was based then, and
Corumbá
,
Brazil
. On the grounds of a co-operation agreement with
Syndicato Condor
, an airline catering for the
German minority in Brazil
, LAB passengers could connect in Corumbá on a flight to
Rio de Janeiro
, and vice versa. Over the following years, more destinations in Brazil were added, so that Lloyd Aéreo became the second largest airline in South America at that time, only surpassed by
Avianca
from
Colombia
. In 1932, the Bolivian government seized all of LAB's planes and staff, so that they could be dispatched for military use during the
Chaco War
with
Paraguay
.
