Ground transportation
The airport is connected by road to Asunción, Luque and other communities in the metropolitan area, primarily via Avenida Aviador Silvio Pettirossi. Taxis provide direct transportation to your destination, while buses offer a more affordable alternative, although some stops are located away from the terminal entrance.
Authorized operators include Cooperativa Mburuvicha Ltda., which holds the concession for the airport’s taxi and private car service. Passengers should use the designated transportation service points in the arrivals area and confirm the fare before starting their journey.
Taxis are a convenient choice for direct transfers to hotels and other destinations, particularly when traveling with luggage, in a group or at night. Journey times depend on traffic and the final destination.
The E3 connects the airport roundabout with several areas of Asunción, passing through Shopping del Sol, Plaza de las Américas and downtown Asunción before reaching the Port of Asunción area.
The E3 bus stop is located at the airport roundabout, not directly outside the terminal. Passengers should allow for the walk to the stop, particularly when carrying luggage.
Route 30-2 and certain services on route 30-5 also connect the airport area with Asunción and Luque. Not all route 30 services pass by the airport, so passengers should check the route before boarding.
Travelers can complete rental procedures at the relevant counters and follow the company’s instructions to reach their reserved vehicle.
Renting a car provides flexibility for traveling around Asunción, Luque and other destinations in Paraguay without depending on public transportation schedules. Passengers should confirm office hours, the exact pickup location and vehicle return conditions before traveling.
