Líneas Aéreas Canedo (LAC), established in 1978 operating Douglas DC-3, C-47 and AeroCommander 680S aircraft. LAC´s initiated its operation with flights from its main base of operations, Cochabmaba to the cities of Potosí, Oruro, Trinidad Santa Ana, San Joaquin, San Ramon, Magdalena, Guayaramerin, Riberalta and Cobija, carrying passengers, cargo, mail and parcel.

On 1992 LAC incorporated to his fleet two Convair 340/440 airplanes, each carries 40 passengers. This were pressurized airplanes, with first and tourist class configuration. The Convairs operated to the south, east and west of the country, serving places that did not have an air transport service during a long time.

This Convairs were leased by Lloyd Aereo Boliviano (LAB Ailines) to operate the eastern routes of the country during 2000 and 2001.

On july 2001, the Convairs were sold to a South African railroad and tourism company, "Rovos Rail" that later, with the inclusion of this aircraft, formed "Rovos Air".

At the moment, Lineas Aereas Canedo is operating Douglas Super DC-3 (C-117D), CurtissCommando C-46, Douglas DC-3, and AeroCommander 680S aircraft. The first of the above mentioned airplanes has been recently incorporated to LAC´s fleet in a 32 passenger configuration. This aircraft was designed to fly 16 hours non-stop at a speed of 470km/hr.

The Douglas DC-3S is the only aircraft in the world that holds an indefinite airworthiness certificate..
