SUBJECT: A NEW OUTLOOK FOR BOLIVIA'S NATIONAL CARRIER? 
 
REF: LA PAZ 2610 
 
------- 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) Lloyd Aereo Boliviano's general manager recently 
predicted a new outlook for Bolivia's national carrier, 
noting that the firm now has seven jets, up from one a few 
months ago, and has renewed service to a range of domestic 
and international destinations.  Executives have made 
progress identifying and settling debts, and they 
increasingly believe the carrier is making a comeback. 
Despite this, Lloyd continues to live month-to-month, which 
suggests a full recovery may take time. 
 
-------------- 
A NEW OUTLOOK? 
-------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Lloyd Aereo Boliviano General Manager Franklin 
Taendler spoke optimistically November 9, predicting a new 
outlook for Bolivia's national carrier.  Taendler noted that 
the firm now has seven jets, up from one in mid-July, and has 
renewed service to a range of domestic and international 
destinations, including Miami and Madrid.  Flights operate 
regularly and largely depart on time, with relatively few 
delays of the sort once typical of the carrier.  Taendler 
hopes to lease three additional aircraft in the next few 
months, in hopes of operating more frequent flights to the 
company's most lucrative destinations and adding new cities 
to the carrier's list of services. 
 
3. (SBU) According to Taendler, executives have made progress 
identifying and settling outstanding debts - the firm owes an 
estimated $11 million to Bolivian pension funds and several 
million more to suppliers, banks, and other organizations - 
and expect to gradually agree payment plans with creditors, 
many by year-end.  Taendler noted that Lloyd has settled 
debts to its previous insurer and secured aircraft insurance 
through a new company.  He and other executives increasingly 
believe the carrier is making a comeback; as evidence, they 
point to the fact that weekly revenues have increased from a 
mere $50,000 to an estimated $500,000 since mid-July. 
 
------------------------ 
SURVIVING MONTH-TO-MONTH 
------------------------ 
 
3. (SBU) Despite this, Lloyd continues to live 
month-to-month, which suggests a full recovery may take time. 
 Workers receive their salaries, but payments are often a 
week or two late; executives find they must balance salary 
disbursements with fuel and aircraft insurance payments. 
Every dollar counts, as illustrated by Lloyd's tentative plan 
to loan one of its jets to a U.S. company operating New 
York-Miami-Havana charters; according to Taendler, Lloyd 
would earn $3,500 per flight, a significant sum to a company 
perpetually short of cash, but relatively small change in the 
airline industry. 
 
------- 
COMMENT 
------- 
 
4. (SBU) Lloyd's future may look brighter than it has since 
mid-July, but its recovery is far from assured.  The firm has 
certainly made progress, but it appears to be no more than a 
few steps from the edge of the abyss, at risk of toppling 
over at the first sign of renewed trouble.  Recent jet fuel 
shortages have complicated matters, causing Lloyd and other 
carriers to delay flights, and the GOB shows little sign of 
quickly resolving the issue.
