The new airport was inaugurated in 1965.〔 http://guiasobrevuelos.com/2010/10/07/aeropuerto-el-alto-de-la-paz-bolivia/〕 El Alto airport was a primary hub for the former Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, Bolivia's flag carrier which ceased operations in 2007 and is a hub for Transporte Aéreo Militar.〔Transporte Aéreo Militar – TAM. Hub: La Paz www.ch-aviation.ch〕 It serves also as a focus city for Boliviana de Aviación which is a state owned airline.〔AeroSur's hub is located in Santa Cruz de la Sierra while Cochabamba is the hub of BoA (Boliviana de Aviación). http://www.ovguide.com/boliviana-de-aviacion-9202a8c04000641f8000000006bd7f96〕 From 1997, the airport was managed by TBI plc which owned concessions of the three biggest airports in the country: El Alto International Airport, Jorge Wilstermann International Airport and Viru Viru International Airport through its subsidiary Servicio de Aeropuertos Bolivianos S.A. (SABSA). In 2004, the company was acquired by the Spanish conglomerate Abertis, hence taking ownership of SABSA. In February 2013, the Government of Bolivia announced the nationalization of SABSA, taking full ownership and operations of Bolivia's main international gateways. ==History== The Bolivian territory is characterized by extremely varied terrain. These topographic aberrations, which include a variety of environments such as rugged mountains, high plateaus, low valleys and tropical forests, as well as the country's large size, had a negative effect on national transportation, making communication difficult between elevated and low cities along with isolated tropical towns. What finally overcame the geographical difficulties was aviation. This source of communication was very effective since some populations, in most cases, depend exclusively on the air transport for being able to communicate. The Bolivian air transport started in 1916, when the Military school of Aviation () was formed in La Paz. In 1929 the local government made a project for the construction of the airport. However it was officially inaugurated in the 1960s. In 1974 the airport proceeded to a reconstruction. A new terminal was built and its facilities were enlarged and modernized.〔http://www.gobernacionlapaz.gob.bo:8001/simit/sistema/ficha_turistica/fichaturistica.php?atr_id=254〕 Until 1999 the airport took John F. Kennedy (JFK) as the official name although in practice this name was never used in a public way. In that year, before the pressure of different sectors, by means of the Law 1944 during the government of Hugo Banzer Suárez the airport changed its name officially to El Alto International Airport as a ''de facto'' name up to that moment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「El Alto International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
