🏢 Terminal Information
Aeropuerto Nacional de Juan De Ayolas (AYO) serves the city of Ayolas in southern Paraguay, strategically located near the Paraná River and the significant Yacyretá 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 Yacyretá Hydroelectric Power Plant.

Aeródromo de Bahía Negra (BFA) serves the northernmost town of Bahía Negra in Paraguay, a remote community located in the Alto Paraguay Department, surrounded by Pantanal-like wetlands. This small regional airport is a crucial lifeline for the local population, providing essential air access to a region with extremely limited road infrastructure. It primarily supports weekly flights via SETAM (a state-run airline providing civic services), charter operations, and local transport needs. The 'airport' consists of a single unpaved runway (03/21) and very basic facilities, reflecting its role in connecting an isolated community.\n\nOperational procedures at BFA are informal and highly dependent on visual flight rules (VFR) and local weather conditions. There are no advanced security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or traditional check-in counters. Passengers for SETAM flights usually check in directly with the flight crew or a local agent. 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 the unpaved runway and surrounding wetlands.
