AWAS announced today that they have placed three widebody 767-300ER passenger aircraft with current customer Boliviana as part of the airline’s plan to commence long-haul service from Cochabamba to Miami in the US, and Madrid, Spain.
Two of the three aircraft will be placed into immediate service to launch the Miami and Madrid destinations, while the third will be allocated for the provision of spare engine and parts support to the fleet. These routes represent important markets for the airline and will allow significant improvement of services as well as travel options for the Bolivian passenger.

The breath of AWAS’ asset base and technical expertise coupled with our flexibility in financing structures allowed our team to deliver the right solution for Boliviana.”
