## Description

Transformers, turbine parts and heavy plant equipment for the Itaipú hydroelectric complex arrive by road and river, not through the airstrip that carries the dam's name. Itaipú National Airport, on the Paraguayan side near Hernandarias in Alto Paraná, serves company, government and charter flights and has no cargo terminal or scheduled service. Air freight for the region is routed through Guaraní International Airport (AGT) at Minga Guazú, roughly 30 km away and Paraguay's second cargo airport, focused on re-exports, electronics and triple-frontier trade. Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) near Asunción, about 320 km west along route PY02, remains the country's main air cargo point with roughly 23,158 tonnes handled in 2025. Customs clearance is performed by the Dirección Nacional de Aduanas at those arrival airports; no air cargo customs post is confirmed at Itaipú. Shippers should book to AGT and arrange trucking for the final leg.
