El Alto International Airport is an extraordinary aviation gateway that serves La Paz, Bolivia, and stands as one of the world’s most remarkable airports due to its exceptional location. Situated in the city of El Alto, just 13 kilometers (8 miles) west of La Paz, this airport boasts the impressive title of being the highest international airport globally, perched at an elevation of 4,061.5 meters (13,325 feet) above sea level. Not only is it the highest international airport, but it also ranks as the seventh highest commercial airport worldwide and the highest commercial airport outside of China.
The airport has a rich history dating back to the first half of the 20th century, but it underwent significant modernization efforts in the late 1960s. During this period, the runway was extended, and a new passenger terminal was constructed, equipped with modern facilities to meet the evolving needs of air travelers. This transformation culminated with the airport’s inauguration in 1965. El Alto International Airport has played a crucial role in Bolivian aviation, serving as a primary hub for airlines like Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, which was Bolivia’s national carrier until it ceased operations in 2007. Today, it continues to play a pivotal role as a hub for Línea Aérea Amaszonas and a focus city for Boliviana de Aviación, Bolivia’s flag carrier and state-owned airline.
The airport’s modernization efforts did not stop in the 1960s. In 2006, significant investments were made by SABSA (Spanish: Servicios Aeroportuarios Bolivianos S.A.) to enhance the airport’s infrastructure. These investments of nearly 2.3 million dollars led to the reconstruction of the main terminal, which included expanding and reshaping the baggage claim area, check-in facilities, and the corridor leading to the air bridges. This effort aimed to provide a more efficient and comfortable experience for passengers, aligning with El Alto International Airport‘s vital role in Bolivia’s aviation landscape.
