Silvio Pettirossi International Airport is the main international airport serving Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay. It handles the vast majority of the country's international passenger and cargo traffic, connecting Paraguay to destinations across South America, North America, and Europe. The airport is named after Silvio Pettirossi, a pioneering Paraguayan aviator from the early 20th century. It is located in the Luque district, adjacent to Asunción, and serves as the primary hub for LATAM Paraguay and other regional carriers. The facility has undergone modernization efforts over the years to expand capacity and improve passenger services, though it remains a mid-sized airport by regional standards. A larger replacement airport has been discussed in planning circles for many years.
