Sole air link for Cobija/Pando, Bolivia's northernmost department, served by Boliviana de Aviación (La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz), regional carrier EcoJet, and TAMep's new daily La Paz-Cobija route (Apr 2026); despite officially being named 'Aeropuerto Internacional,' current scheduled service is domestic-only with no active international routes across the adjacent Brazilian border, so it is not treated here as a genuine international port of entry.

Boliviana de Aviación (BoA)
Self-handled, Boliviana de Aviación. BoA (state flag carrier) serves CIJ on its domestic network (independently confirmed via airport route data: Cochabamba, La Paz, Santa Cruz de la Sierra); no third-party ground handler was found operating at this station, and Bolivian secondary airports typically see the operating carrier self-handle check-in/ramp — inferred rather than directly documented for Cobija specifically.

TAMep (Transporte Aéreo Militar - Empresa Pública)
Self-handled, in-house, TAMep. Bolivian Air Force-owned carrier relaunched Cobija service 31-May-2024 (independently corroborated via Wikipedia's TAMep article, which cites the same date and route) with its own La Paz-based station structure and airport sales point in Cobija (Av. 9 de Febrero #049); no separate handling agent identified, consistent with military/state-carrier self-handling.

EcoJet S.A.
Self-handled, in-house, EcoJet. Cochabamba-based domestic carrier operates CIJ-La Paz and CIJ-Trinidad legs (independently confirmed via airport route data); no dedicated third-party ramp/passenger handler found for this station, so self-handling by the carrier's own station staff is inferred rather than directly documented.

TAMep (Transporte Aéreo Militar - Empresa Pública)
TAM/TAMep Bolivia has historically combined passenger service with air-cargo/parcel and mail transport on its remote-route network, which includes the La Paz-Cochabamba-Santa Cruz-Cobija circuit; however, the previously-cited tamep.bo cargo-service page could not be reached to confirm a current, Cobija-specific cargo offering, and the independently-verified Wikipedia source covers passenger operations only. Downgraded from "available" pending direct confirmation.
