Operator History

CBF was a government-owned carrier specializing in the bulk carriage of meat. It began operations in May 1946 with three Commandos. Two others were acquired later, probably as replacement. By 1956, three Commandos and four B-17 were in the fleet. On 29 May 1965, the routes and equipment, including the sole remaining Commando, were transferred to LAB (Lloyd Aereo Boliviano) by government decree.
