Operating hoursH24 (24-hour international operations) since 7-Aug-2025, Paraguay's 3rd H24 international airport alongside Asunción/SGAS and Ciudad del Este/SGES; ATC coordinates with Posadas (ARG), Ciudad del Este and Asunción. No published curfew; no PPR for scheduled airline ops, though GA/charter operators should confirm status via DINAC AIS/NOTAM given ongoing terminal works.
TerminalsProvisional ~1,000 m² module opened 2025 serves as the passenger terminal during the upgrade; a ~2,000 m² permanent terminal expansion (sole bid: SPY-MES Consortium, ~₲21.7 billion against a ~₲22.36 billion official estimate) remained unawarded as of late 2025. Apron (120m x 80m) is being enlarged for 100+ aircraft to support WRC Rally Paraguay traffic. Migraciones, SENAD and DNIT (customs) are permanently staffed on-site.

Paraguay's newest international gateway, serving Encarnación and southern Itapúa; transferred from municipal to DINAC ownership in March 2025 (land cession finalized 11-Mar-2025) and upgraded to full H24 international status in August 2025 ahead of the WRC Rally Paraguay. Flybondi's inaugural Buenos Aires–Ezeiza flight (delayed by an Argentine ATC strike) landed in late August 2025 coinciding with the Rally, which drove 4,300+ passengers and 823 aircraft operations through the airport in a single week; scheduled Flybondi service then paused before resuming as a regular 3x-weekly (Mon/Wed/Fri) route from December 2025. DINAC does not publish a disaggregated annual passenger total for this airport (only Asunción and Ciudad del Este appear in its public statistics), so the pax figure above is an estimate blending the Rally-week spike with partial-year scheduled-service volumes, not an official count.

Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (DINAC)
DINAC is confirmed as the direct owner/operator of Aeropuerto Teniente Amín Ayub González (state field, not a private concessionaire) and runs it for the limited scheduled traffic (seasonal Flybondi service) and general aviation; ramp/apron coordination is presumed to be carried out by DINAC's own airport staff in the absence of any identified private ground-handling company. No dedicated third-party handler found in any published source; treat as DINAC in-house pending on-the-ground confirmation.

Flybondi
Flybondi launched the Buenos Aires (Ezeiza)–Encarnación route on 27 Aug 2025 (B737-800), the airport's first-ever international scheduled service (confirmed via es.wikipedia.org and Aviacionline). Operation has been intermittent rather than a stable year-round route: DINAC's director Nelson Mendoza confirmed in Jan 2026 that weak February ticket sales forced a pause of the Encarnación–Buenos Aires flights, and Flybondi has faced broader financial/operational distress through mid-2026 (tax-debt account freezes, Brazilian ANAC restrictions, market-share losses to Andes). Company reporting on Flybondi's earlier Paraguay AOC filing states it self-handles (own passenger/ramp assistance) at roughly 80% of the airports in its network; not specifically confirmed for the Encarnación station, so marked seasonal/unconfirmed rather than assumed as a stable in-house arrangement.

Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (DINAC)
DINAC's Sub-Dirección de Seguridad de la Aviación Civil is Paraguay's national AVSEC authority, and DINAC directly operates ENO with no private concessionaire, so screening/access-control is presumptively DINAC-run as at its other state fields; no airport-specific tenant listing or contractor name published to confirm the exact operating unit.
