    Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano
    S.A.M.
    (abbreviated
    LAB
    and internationally known as
    LAB Airlines
    ), was the
    flag carrier
    and principal
    airline
    of
    Bolivia
    from 1925 until it ceased operations in 2010. Before its demise it was headquartered in
    Cochabamba
    and had its main
    hubs
    at
    Jorge Wilstermann International Airport
    and
    Viru Viru International Airport
    . Founded in September 1925, it was the second oldest airline in South America after
    Avianca
    and one of the
    oldest airlines in the world
    .
    The beginnings
    Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano was founded by Guillermo Kyllmann in Cochabamba on September 15, 1925. The name was chosen after the British insurance market
    Lloyd's of London
    for its image of safety and security. Flight operations were launched on 23 September using
    Junkers F.13
    aircraft, the first of which had been a present from the
    German community in Bolivia
    .
    In July 1930, Lloyd Aéreo began to serve international routes, with scheduled flights between
    La Paz
    , where it was based then, and
    Corumbá
    ,
    Brazil
    . On the grounds of a co-operation agreement with
    Syndicato Condor
    , an airline catering for the
    German minority in Brazil
    , LAB passengers could connect in Corumbá on a flight to
    Rio de Janeiro
    , and vice versa. Over the following years, more destinations in Brazil were added, so that Lloyd Aéreo became the second largest airline in South America at that time, only surpassed by
    Avianca
    from
    Colombia
    . In 1932, the Bolivian government seized all of LAB's planes and staff, so that they could be dispatched for military use during the
    Chaco War
    with
    Paraguay
    .

    Oruro
    (Hispanicized spelling) or
    Uru Uru
    is a city in
    Bolivia
    with a population of 264,683 (2012 calculation), about halfway between
    La Paz
    and
    Sucre
    in the
    Altiplano
    , approximately 3,709 meters (12,169 ft) above sea level.
    It is Bolivia's fifth-largest city by population, after Santa Cruz de la Sierra, El Alto, La Paz, and Cochabamba. It is the capital of the department of
    Oruro
    and the seat of the
    Roman Catholic Diocese of Oruro
    . Oruro has been subject to cycles of
    boom and bust
    owing to its dependence on the mining industry, notably
    tin
    ,
    tungsten (wolfram)
    , silver and copper.
