Operating hoursDaylight operations only; no published 24h tower service and no night-lighting confirmed. Scheduled BoA service operates only a few days per week (historically reported as low as 3 and as high as 4 weekly frequencies) with round-trips to Cochabamba — effectively a limited-hours regional field with no formal curfew notice but no PPR requirement found for civil traffic.
Terminals1 small public terminal (built with the 2015 reopening) with check-in counters, a pre-boarding area and an arrivals sector; apron parking only, no jet bridges.

Airport contact
Built on a former U.S. military base (closed 2006) and reinaugurated in 2015 at a cost of roughly $34.5-40 million, Chimoré's runway (4,000 m, including an 895 m displaced threshold on 35) is dramatically oversized for its traffic, serving the Chapare region of Cochabamba Department. Despite the official 'Internacional' name, current service is limited to Boliviana de Aviación's low-frequency domestic route to Cochabamba (roughly 3-4 round trips/week, historically on 50-seat CRJ200s), so it functions today as a domestic-only regional strip with no customs, immigration, or scheduled international flights; passenger totals here are an estimate derived from reported flight frequency since NAABOL does not publish per-airport annual statistics for this field.

NAABOL (Navegación Aérea y Aeropuertos Bolivianos)
No dedicated ground-handling company or licensed agent is documented for this aerodrome. NAABOL is confirmed as the field's operator/administrator (its own site carries a dedicated Chimoré page); as the state operator of a small, non-hub field with no scheduled airline service documented, NAABOL/airport staff would by default handle apron access, marshalling and basic ramp support for any traffic (state, military or occasional civil), but this specific service could not be independently confirmed for Chimoré from public sources.

No separate third-party FBO or trip-support desk was found for this field.
