History

TAB was set up in 1977 as a sub-division of the Air Transport Management of the Bolivian Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Boliviana, abbreviated FAB) in 1977, originally operating on-demand medium to long-haul heavy cargo flights using a fleet of Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, which were based at El Alto International Airport in La Paz. In 1992, TAB was shut down.

In 1999, the airline was reactivated as a civil company based at Cochabamba, then operating a single military C-130 and a L-382, the civil variant of the preceding. In 1999, TAB moved 84,649 kilograms of cargo, which was increased to over 2 million kilograms in 2000, to 4,176,429 kilograms in 2006.

TAB increased its fleet with the addition of two McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and McDonnell Douglas MD-10. Currently, the airline is transporting more than 8 thousand tons a year.

In 2014, TAB retired all of its DC-8s, its C-130, L-382, DC-10s.[3] It stopped flying most of its MD-10s in 2014, and sold them off to the Bolivian Airforce.[4]

As of 2021, TAB only has one aircraft, an MD-10, which is pictured to the right. This aircraft's registration is CP-2791.[5]
