Capitán Aníbal Arab Airport guide

Capitán Aníbal Arab Airport (ICAO: SLCO, IATA: CIJ) serves Cobija, the capital of the Pando Department in northern Bolivia. Cobija is a port city on the Acre River, on the border with Brazil. The airport sits at 245 metres (804 ft) above sea level. It is a public airport, and a law passed in 2007 gave it the name of civil aviation captain Aníbal Arab Fadul.

The airport has one asphalt runway, designated 02/20. Wikipedia lists its length as 2,600 metres (8,530 ft). A non-directional beacon with the identifier CIJ stands on the field.

All scheduled service is domestic and flown by Bolivian carriers. Boliviana de Aviación, EcoJet and TAMep fly to La Paz, and TAMep also links Cobija with Cochabamba and Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Capacity on these routes is limited, and the Bolivian Air Force has flown extra Cobija to La Paz services during holiday periods when airline seats ran out. In 2023 the airport handled about 141,600 passengers.
