## Description

Concepción is a working river port whose airport moves almost no freight: Tte. Cnel. Carmelo Peralta National Airport (CIO/SGCO) is a DINAC-run domestic field with no cargo terminal and no reliable scheduled service. Goods for northern Paraguay travel instead by barge on the Paraguay–Paraná waterway, which links Concepción to Rosario and Nueva Palmira, or by road from the capital. Air freight enters the country through Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) near Asunción, which handled roughly 23,158 tonnes in 2025, followed by about 420 km of trucking north on routes PY03 and PY05. Guaraní International Airport (AGT) at Minga Guazú is the alternative gateway for the eastern departments and triple-frontier trade. Import formalities are processed by the Dirección Nacional de Aduanas at the airport of arrival; no air cargo customs post at Concepción is confirmed. CIO remains useful for charter, medical and general aviation flights rather than freighter operations.
