Sources
- Bolivia will hand over Viru Viru International Airport to a private concessionaire on 30 September 2026, with the aim of turning the facility into a regional hub in central South America.
- The concession agreement requires the operator to adapt runways for wide‑body aircraft, attract foreign airlines, and link national logistics to new external markets, including connections to other continents, while current carriers Boliviana de Aviación, Ecojet and Copa Airlines hold the majority of market share at the airport.
Why it matters
The move could expand Bolivia’s international connectivity and create new revenue streams for the airport through increased foreign airline participation.
