  "connection_tips": "Carlos Miguel Gim\u00e9nez Airport (PIL) serves the riverside city of Pilar in southwestern Paraguay. A significant tip: Pilar is a major river port; for those heading to the nearby wetlands or fishing lodges, coordinate a boat transfer at the city wharf after landing. Ensure you have cash (PYG) for all local transport\n\nIt handles regular domestic flights from Asunci\u00f3n (ASU) via the military-run airline SETAM and occasional private charters. The terminal is functional but basic with manual manifest checks The river-port role is what makes the SETAM and charter flights useful, because the airport is a faster way to reach the city than many overland alternatives.\n\nLocated 3 kilometers (10 minutes) from the city center, ground transport is primarily via local taxis and private hires which meet every scheduled arrival. Arrive 90 minutes early for domestic departures. The area is exceptionally isolated by road during the rainy season; aviation is the most reliable link. Local taxis and private hires usually do the rest, so the airport works best when the pickup has already been arranged for the short hop into town. A wharf boat transfer should already be booked, because the river port is the real part of the trip.",

  "terminal_info": "Carlos Miguel Jim\u00e9nez Airport (PIL) is a regional aviation facility serving the city of Pilar, the capital of the \u00d1eembuc\u00fa Department in southwestern Paraguay. The airport operates from a single, compact passenger terminal building designed primarily to facilitate domestic regional travel and essential government missions. It acts as a vital infrastructure link for the 'City of Birds,' situated approximately 3 miles (5 km) north of the city center near the banks of the Paraguay River.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure is modest and focused on essential services, providing a functional waiting area and simple check-in counters. While the facility lacks modern commercial amenities such as retail shops, full-service restaurants, or duty-free outlets, its small scale ensures exceptionally rapid passenger processing. Travelers are strongly encouraged to handle significant financial and dining needs in the Pilar city center prior to arrival, as on-site services are focused on the immediate needs of transit and flight coordination.\n\nOperationally, the airport features a single 4,921-foot (1,500m) concrete runway (02/20) and is currently the focus of a significant modernization project led by DINAC to enhance its capacity for international traffic. Ground transportation to central Pilar is well-supported by local taxi services that meet arriving flights, providing a quick 10-minute link to the city's historic districts and the textile industrial center. The airport serves as a key starting point for sport fishermen and eco-tourists exploring the diverse wetland ecosystems of the \u00d1eembuc\u00fa region.",
