Airport contact
Domestic regional gateway for Bolivia's northern Amazon basin (Beni); served by Boliviana de Aviación (La Paz, Cochabamba) and EcoJet (Santa Cruz, and Trinidad ~5x weekly) — EcoJet service is independently confirmed via current sources, BoA service could not be independently confirmed and should be re-checked if used operationally. Not one of Bolivia's three DGAC-certified international airports (El Alto, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz), so no customs/immigration function here. Runway length/width figures vary slightly across sources (1,753-1,834 m) reflecting an ongoing NAABOL widening/extension project (2024-2025, part of the Bicentenario airport-improvement program); pavement has historically been reported as worn pending resurfacing. Passenger-traffic figure is a rough estimate — NAABOL does not publish per-airport annual totals for RIB in open sources; treat pax.annual as indicative, not an official statistic. Fuel (Jet A-1) availability is inferred from scheduled jet/turboprop service and was not independently confirmed via an official source. No dedicated Riberalta airport phone/email was publicly listed; contact shown is Bolivia's national DGAC line.
