EcoJet
A Bolivian scheduled airline linking major cities with smaller communities through a domestic network centred on Cochabamba and operated primarily with Avro regional jets.
About EcoJet
EcoJet is a privately operated Bolivian airline founded in 2013, with scheduled services beginning in November of that year. It developed as a domestic carrier focused on improving air links between Bolivia’s principal cities and regional communities. The EcoJet brand should not be confused with unrelated airlines that have used similar names or identifiers in other countries.
The airline’s operating centre is Jorge Wilstermann International Airport in Cochabamba, a geographically convenient connecting point in central Bolivia. Its network is entirely domestic and has included La Paz, Santa Cruz, Sucre, Trinidad, Cobija, Riberalta, Rurrenabaque and Guayaramerín. Individual routes and frequencies can vary, particularly on thinner regional services, so travellers should confirm the current timetable before arranging onward transport.
EcoJet is closely associated with the four-engine Avro RJ85 and RJ100 family of regional jets. These aircraft are suited to short domestic sectors and airports where operational conditions can be demanding, including Bolivia’s high-altitude airfields. Flights are generally configured around an economy-oriented service rather than multiple long-haul-style cabin classes, with the exact fare conditions, baggage allowance and flexibility determined by the ticket purchased.
EcoJet does not belong to Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, and its flights are not normally integrated into the global alliance networks used by larger international airlines. The carrier does not appear to operate a publicly documented frequent-flyer programme. Passengers connecting to or from another airline should therefore expect separate tickets, independent baggage rules and, in many cases, a need to collect and recheck luggage.
EcoJet’s principal strength is its coverage of domestic communities that may have limited nonstop alternatives, making it useful for travel within Bolivia. The corresponding challenge is that a relatively small regional operation has less capacity to absorb aircraft substitutions, weather disruption or schedule changes than a large airline. Building extra time into separate-ticket connections is prudent, especially when transferring to an international departure.
Good to know
Flying with EcoJet — what to expect
Domestic Network
EcoJet concentrates on routes within Bolivia, including links to smaller northern and Amazonian communities. Check the current schedule because some regional services may not operate daily.
High-Altitude Operations
La Paz and several other Bolivian airports present unusual altitude and weather conditions. Allow time to acclimatise and expect operational adjustments when conditions require them.
Baggage Conditions
Baggage entitlements can depend on the fare and route. Confirm both cabin and checked allowances on the booking confirmation before arriving at the airport.
Separate Connections
EcoJet is not part of a global airline alliance, so connections with other carriers may be on separate tickets. Leave a generous buffer and verify whether baggage must be reclaimed and checked in again.
Regional Jet Cabin
The Avro regional jets used by EcoJet are designed for relatively short sectors and offer a straightforward economy-focused experience. Cabin space can be tighter than on larger mainline aircraft.
