Good day IFC
A few days back I decided to fly another aircraft in a little mini series ive unofficially named “flying Airlines you forgot existed”! For this one, I decided to fly Bolivian airline Amazonas
from La Paz to Cusco, Peru
! Sitting at 13,325 ft (4,061.5 m) msl, El Alto airport which served as Amazoonas’ main hub is one of the highest airline hubs in the world!
Flight Details
Airline: Línea Aérea Amaszonas S.A (Z8)
Aircraft: Embraer E190LR
Departure Airport: El Alto Int’l Airport SLLP
Arrival Airport: Alejandro Valasco Astete - Cusco Int’l Airport SPZO
Flight Time: 47mins

Speed: Mach 0.78
Just got off the bus
from the terminal to be greeted by this lovely 2011 built E190 that will take us northwest over the Cordillera Real range to Peru
Blasting out of La Paz like a rocket
Reaching our cruising altitude of FL3000 over Lake Titicaca on the Peru/Bolivia border
Starting our descent into Cusco with Nevado Auzangate making a cheeky apperance just above and left of the cockpit
Beginning our final approach over the lovely little peruvian town of Huacarpay
Amaszonas 403, runway 28 cleared to land
Safely parked at the gate! Time to fulfill a life long dream of visiting Machu Pitchu
