Flights to Asunción
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Asunción is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 10,997-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silvio Pettirossi International Airport | ASU | 14 km (9 mi) | 10,997 ft | 292 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,997 ft, ASU can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 292 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
