Alcantarí International Airport
Alcantari International Airport, coded SRE, opened in 2016 to give Sucre, Bolivia's constitutional capital, an airport capable of handling larger jet aircraft than its predecessor within the city itself ever could. The older in-town airport sat at a punishing altitude with a runway too short and thin-aired for many modern aircraft to operate safely with full passenger loads, so authorities built SRE on flatter ground outside the city, trading a longer road transfer for genuine operational capacity. Sucre, known as the 'White City' for its whitewashed colonial facades, holds Bolivia's judicial branch and formal constitutional status as capital even though the seat of government functions mostly from La Paz, a historical split that still shapes national politics. SRE connects this UNESCO World Heritage city to La Paz, Santa Cruz, and other Bolivian destinations, supporting both government travel and tourism to Sucre's well-preserved churches, plazas, and museums.
