๐ข Terminal Information
Aeropuerto Nacional de Juan De Ayolas (AYO) serves the city of Ayolas in southern Paraguay, strategically located near the Paranรก River and the significant Yacyretรก Dam. This regional airport primarily supports general aviation, private aircraft, and the operational needs associated with the hydroelectric project, rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. It provides essential air access for personnel working on the dam and for local residents. The terminal building is a small, functional structure, reflecting its role as a local airfield.\n\nOperational procedures at AYO are informal and operate under visual flight rules (VFR). There are no advanced security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or traditional check-in counters. Passengers for specific flights usually coordinate directly with their operators or pilots. Security, if present, is minimal, handled by local authorities. Flights are prone to delays or cancellations due to weather conditions, particularly heavy rainfall which can affect runway conditions or river levels impacting ground transport.\n\nAmenities at Juan De Ayolas Airport are non-existent for the general public. Travelers should not expect any facilities such as restrooms, food vendors, or retail shops. It is essential for visitors to bring all necessary provisions, including water and snacks, and to be prepared for the hot and humid climate. All arrangements for accommodation and ground transportation in Ayolas must be made in advance, as the town has limited public facilities. The airport's primary function is to provide critical air access for general aviation and the Yacyretรก Hydroelectric Power Plant.
