## Description

A river, not a runway, carries the freight of Puerto Vallemi: bulk cement and limestone from the state-owned INC plant move south by barge along the Paraguay–Paraná waterway. Against that backdrop, the Aeropuerto Nacional Doctor Juan Plate (VMI) is a modest domestic field in Paraguay's remote north, served by occasional regional and charter flights. It offers no scheduled air cargo and no on-site integrator presence. Shippers needing airfreight handling and customs clearance by the Dirección Nacional de Aduanas route through Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU) in Asunción. For Vallemi, VMI is a passenger and light-aircraft reference point rather than a logistics gateway.
