Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano flew a wide variety of aircraft over its 85-year history. Among the designs operated by the former Bolivian flag carrier was the Boeing 767 family, of which the airline flew three examples across two variants at two different points in its history. Let's take a look back at the story of these jets, and where they are now.

G-BLKV

According to ATDB.aero, the first of the three Boeing 767s that Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano operated joined the Cochabamba-based airline in November 1989. It did so on lease from Britannia Airways, which went on to become what is now TUI. As seen by the 'G' prefix, the aircraft retained its UK registration while flying in Bolivia.

The aircraft, a Boeing 767-200ER, was relatively young at the time of the lease, having only entered service with Britannia Airways in January 1985. Its time at Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano was short, with the lease terminating in January 1990. However, it did briefly stay in South America, flying for Aero Perú until May 1990.

The aircraft went on to fly for a huge range of carriers, starting with Air New Zealand a week after leaving Aero Perú. It later flew for Air Aruba and Air Europe, before joining Air Atlantia Icelandic, who leased it out to a wide variety of clients between May 2002 and April 2005. After being converted to carry cargo by GECAS, it has flown for Danish airfreight specialists Star Air since October 2005.

CP-2425

More than a decade after briefly leasing a Boeing 767-200ER, Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano began using the US-built twinjet family once again in November 2002. It was at this point that it received its first 767-300ER model, which had begun its career at Gulf Air in June 1988. Unlike G-BLKV, it had a Bolivian registration, namely CP-2425.

The aircraft also remained at the carrier for longer than its smaller, older counterpart. Indeed, its stay lasted more than three years, eventually coming to an end in March 2006. After a few uncertain months hollowing a canceled acquisition by Venezuela's Santa Barbara Airlines, it joined Mexicana in October 2006.

After leaving Mexicana in August 2010, the aircraft came under the ownership of Pegasus Aviation between December 2011 and August 2013. Following this, it did join Santa Barbara Airlines after all, serving the carrier for three years. After coming into the ownership of SkyHolding, ch-aviation.com lists it as having been scrapped in Mexico City in June 2019, with more than 75,000 hours on the clock.

CP-2426

The airline's second and final Boeing 767-300ER had a very similar carer progression to the first, having also entered service with Gulf Air in 1988. It joined Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano slightly later, in March 2003, but left at around the same time, in March 2006. This was just a year before Bolivia's government shut down the struggling airline, which eventually had its license revoked in 2010.

CP-2426's operational life was also very similar to that of CP-2425 after leaving Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano. Indeed, it flew for the likes of Mexicana and Santa Barbara Airlines before ending up under the ownership of SkyHolding. This aircraft's story came to an end earlier than its counterpart, with scrapping occurring in May 2019.
