Bolivia’s main city is La Paz, and is presently the administrative seat of government. The metropolitan area has more than 2.4 million people. Its only airport is called “ El Alto” named after the town of the same name which is perhaps named after the elevation of this town which is more than 4050 meters above sea level in comparison with the city of La Paz which sits at 3600 meters.
La Paz “El Alto” International Airport is currently one of the highest commercial airports in the world because of its airfield altitude of 4058 meters (13225 feet) above sea level it’s a very complex and difficult airport to operate to/from. The runway allows compensating a bit of the altitude because it has a 4000 meter runway, nonetheless flights farther to the north than Lima Peru are not common since weight restrictions and the possibility of running short of runway makes it impossible because of the height of the airport. Currently aircraft manufacturers test their new aircraft in El Alto so that they can test aircraft performance in high altitude airports.
We made it possible to recreate El Alto airport, the city and surroundings for the highest level of reality.

Very interesting airport, approach and landclass. Latin VFR made a very good product. I did not found any bug. City and airport lookes very realistic and up to date, not hitting FPS during take off , approach and taxing. Recomend for all who flight in South America
Wirklich ein sehr nett gemachte Szenerie eines der höchst gelegenen Flughäfen der Welt. Neben dem Flughafen bekommt man noch sehr viel von der Umgebung wie die Stadt El Alto rund um den Flughafen sowie die Skyline von La Paz. Empfehlenswerte Ziele sind Sucre oder Lima. Insgesamt ein prima Paket zu einem fairen Preis.
The scenery is almost two years old but the quality still pretty high. The photoscenery does not look the best though. Nevertheless a highly recommended scenery if you like som adventures take off at high altitude
Excellent Product! It's a real challenge to take off and land from that altitude. (14,000 feet!) Very nice graphics and detailed airport. The city and airport surroundings are a very accurate from the real deal.
I'd recommend the product to anyone!
Good job to the creator!
