    Description

    El Alto International Airport (IATA: LPB, ICAO: SLLP) is an international airport serving La Paz, Bolivia. It is located in the city of El Alto, 8 mi (13 km) west of La Paz. At an altitude of 4,061.5 m (13,325 ft), it is the highest international airport, the sixth highest commercial airport in the world and the highest commercial airport outside of China.

    The airport has been in service since the first half of the 20th century, but was modernized in the late 1960s, when its runway was lengthened and a new passenger terminal with modern facilities was built. The new airport was inaugurated in 1965. El Alto airport was a primary hub for the former Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, Bolivia's flag carrier which ceased operations in 2007 and is a hub for Línea Aérea Amaszonas. It serves also as a focus city for Boliviana de Aviación which is a state-owned airline.

    Improvements over the default version:

    • Ground elevation fixed.
    • Improved lighting of principal apron.
    • Parking area position fixed.
    • Improved taxiways with adequate lighting and signage.
    • Improved taxiway, apron and runway textures.
    • New apron added

    El Aeropuerto Internacional de El Alto (IATA: LPB, ICAO: SLLP) es el aeropuerto principal del área metropolitana de La Paz y uno de los más importantes y transitados de Bolivia. Está ubicado en las inmediaciones de El Alto, a 14,5 kilómetros al noroeste del centro de La Paz. Situado a una altura de 4061m s. n. m., el aeropuerto Internacional de El Alto es el aeropuerto internacional más alto del mundo.

    El aeropuerto de la ciudad de El Alto Bolivia ha operado desde la primera mitad del, siglo XX, fue modernizado a finales de 1960 cuando se construyó una nueva terminal de pasajeros y su pista de aterrizaje fue significativamente alargada para permitir el aterrizaje y despegue de aviones de reacción más grandes que puedan operar a gran altura.

    El Alto fue uno de los principales centros de conexiones de la antigua empresa Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, aerolínea bandera de Bolivia que dejó de operar desde el año 2007. Actualmente, el aeropuerto es el principal centro de conexiones de Amaszonas, además de servir como aeropuerto secundario para la estatal Boliviana de Aviación.

    Siendo el aeropuerto internacional más alto del mundo, El Alto ofrece condiciones únicas para que las aeronaves más modernas realicen pruebas de vuelo a gran altura a fin de recibir sus certificaciones de vuelo.

    Looks very good for freeware, but lack of GSX compatibility due to isolated parking spots is a huge issue.

    The scenery looks good, but there is a problem with the parking positions. They are isolated, so GSX doesn't work. Any chance for an update?
    I use MSFS 2020.

    This was one of my first airports, and I would really like to update all of them because the earliest ones are the ones with these issues, as I was a beginner back then. I used to work on this in my free time, and at that time, I had plenty of free time. Now, I’m working, and the little free time I have, I use to rest.

    I do intend to do it, but I can’t guarantee 100% when it will happen. All I can say is that at some point, it will be done.

    Hi, thanks for creating this product. I always get CTDs when loading this scenery (without it is ok). Every parking position is "isolated" (GSX), so no ground services available at every spot! That means that gate postions and taxiway positions do NOT match or are missing at all !?Could you please fix this for the latest version of MSFS?
    Thank you

    Can we expect a new version, not only an improvement of the default airport?

    over 2 years ago

    Hopefully, yes. There is a preliminary project with a payware developer, but it's currently on hold

    Great work. SLLP was awful before you fixed it. Only problem is the taxi ribbon does not work, but it's minor, as you have good gate markings.Thank you
