Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (IATA: ASU, ICAO: SGAS) is the principal gateway to Asunción, Paraguay’s capital city, and indirectly serves the nearby Argentine city of Clorinda in Formosa. Named in honor of pioneering Paraguayan aviator Silvio Pettirossi, the airport has played a central role in connecting Paraguay to the rest of the world. In the past, it was known as President Stroessner International Airport, named after the country’s former head of state, Alfredo Stroessner. Silvio Pettirossi International Airport is a vital hub for LATAM Paraguay and Paranair, fostering connections both domestically and internationally.
Silvio Pettirossi International Airport boasts a rich history, with its inauguration dating back to June 11, 1938. Over the years, the airport’s runway underwent essential construction in the 1960s and was resurfaced in 1985. It has witnessed airlines like Iberia offering direct flights from Madrid to Asunción in the late 20th century. In the 2000s, the airport faced modernization and security challenges, with improvements to its instrument landing systems and terminal enhancements. Moreover, this crucial transportation hub has seen a surge in passenger numbers, with a 15 percent increase from 2013 to 2017 and a substantial uptick in daily flights by 2018.
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Silvio Pettirossi International Airport temporarily ceased commercial operations for seven months. However, the airport marked a significant milestone in October 2020 when it announced the resumption of flights. Notably, the airport has also unveiled plans for a second terminal, set to commence construction in 2022. Its role as a thriving international airport continues, as it introduces new flight routes and adapts to the ever-evolving landscape of global travel.
