Compañía de Servicios de Transporte Aéreo Amaszonas S.A., usually shortened to Amaszonas,[note 1] is an airline based in Bolivia, headquartered in Santa Cruz de la Sierra with its administrative center in La Paz. It operates scheduled and chartered short-haul passenger flights throughout the northern and northeastern regions of the country as well as to neighboring Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile and Paraguay, with its network's Hub being located at El Alto International Airport.
The company was founded on 1 October 1998, but flight services were only commenced in 2000. Initially, Amaszonas operated chartered flights using a small fleet of turboprop airliners of the types Cessna 208 Caravan and Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner. In 2012, following the demise of AeroSur, five Bombardier CRJ200 were
acquired from Avmax Aircraft Leasing Inc. in order to launch scheduled passenger services. The first one of these 50-seat jet aircraft was put in service in late August on the La Paz-Santa Cruz de la Sierra route.
In late 2014 Amaszonas announced it would lease 9 CRJ200 aircraft to expand its regional network and intended to fly to up to 40 destinations by 2017.
In 2015 the Bolivian airline purchased the Uruguayan BQB Líneas Aéreas 5 days after the company shut down its operations due to a crisis that began in 2014. From 4 May, the airline takes over the routes operated by BQB before the closure of operations, which are Buenos Aires and Silvio Pettirossi International Airport.
In August 2021 NELLA Airlines Inc., a company registered in the U.S. but based in Brazil and owned by a Brazilian investment group led by Mauricio Souza, who is the current Chief Executive, has acquired 100% control over the Bolivian airline Amaszonas. NELLA Airlines is a proposed regional airline to be based in Brazil that will focus on connecting remote Brazilian cities. NELLA Airlines announced a strategic partnership with Boeing on 29-Jul-2021 and it was expecting delivery of a Boeing 737-500 in August 2021. However, such aircraft has not been delivered as of January 2022. Pres.
