Capitán Aníbal Arab Airport, designated by the IATA code CIJ and ICAO code SLCO, serves the city of Cobija, the capital of Bolivia's Pando Department in the northwestern Amazon basin. The airport is the primary air link for this isolated region, which is bordered by Brazil and Peru and has limited road connectivity, making air travel essential for residents and cargo. The airport handles domestic flights connecting Cobija to major Bolivian cities such as La Paz and Trinidad. It is named after a Bolivian aviation pioneer, Capitán Aníbal Arab, reflecting Bolivia's tradition of honoring military aviators at its airports. Due to its remote location in the tropical lowlands, the airport plays a critical logistical role in supplying the region and supporting local commerce, including the rubber and Brazil nut industries historically important to Pando.
