Bolivian flag carrier Boliviana de Aviación (BoA) is launching a new route to Washington, D.C.

Starting Nov. 4, the state-owned airline will offer twice weekly service between Santa Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia and Washington Dulles, with a stop in Panama City, Panama. Flights will depart on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the total journey in both directions is expected to be around 10 hours, not including time for the refueling stop in Panama City.

BoA plans to operate the route with a Boeing 737-800.

Currently, BoA flies to only one destination in the U.S., Miami. Most of the carrier’s destinations are within South America, though it also has routes to the Caribbean and Europe.

Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, the previous Bolivian flag carrier, served Washington until 2008.
