Helicopter Pad(s)
In Bolivia there are no private helicopter transport services. For its helicopters, the Bolivian Air Force (FAB) uses the aircraft operations apron, of military use.
For the specific case of humanitarian support in emergency situations, the following technical solutions are given:
El Alto-La Paz airport, FAB’s aircraft operations apron is used.
Jorge Wilsterman Cochabamba airport, FAB’s aircraft operations apron is used.
Lieutenant A. Jorge Henrich Airport Trinidad , head 32 of the runway is used, because it is strategically controlled by the FAB.
In the rest of the airports in the country, the commercial passenger apron is used.
