## Description

At roughly 2,550 metres above sea level, Jorge Wilsterman International Airport (IATA: CBB, ICAO: SLCB) is Bolivia's third-ranking airport after Viru Viru in Santa Cruz and El Alto near La Paz, and the country's central domestic interchange. Boliviana de Aviación runs its principal domestic base and maintenance facilities here, with Bolivian operator EcoJet also serving the field; terminal and runway upgrades have added capacity. Freight at Cochabamba is overwhelmingly belly cargo on passenger aircraft plus regional distribution - no significant dedicated freighter operation is documented, since about 80 percent of national air cargo volume clears through Viru Viru. Available capacity swings with the farming seasons of the Cochabamba valley, so space is best booked well ahead. Customs clearance is handled by Bolivia's Aduana Nacional, and road links reach the valley's manufacturing and agricultural areas as well as the Santa Cruz - La Paz corridor. The altitude matters commercially: thin air caps payloads and lengthens take-off runs, which feeds straight into rates and load planning.
