Aeropuerto Internacional Tte. Amín Ayub González

Teniente Amín Ayub González International Airport (ENO) serves Encarnación, the capital of Itapúa Department in southern Paraguay, from a site near Capitán Miranda on the Paraná River opposite Argentine Posadas. It ranks as one of Paraguay's handful of international airports and anchors the aviation network of the country's southern agricultural belt, complementing Asunción (ASU) and Ciudad del Este (AGT). The airport is named for Paraguayan aviation pioneer Tte. Amín Ayub González and was upgraded during the 2010s with a new terminal and extended asphalt runway able to accept narrow-body jet operations. Scheduled service has been intermittent, with domestic links to Asunción and occasional charter and seasonal international flights to Argentine cities; the field also hosts general aviation, agricultural aerial work for the surrounding soybean and yerba mate plantations, and state and emergency operations tied to the Yacyretá hydroelectric complex downstream. Encarnación's broader economy – a blend of Jesuit-ruin heritage tourism (Trinidad and Jesús), cross-border shopping with Posadas, and one of Paraguay's biggest carnivals – positions ENO as a strategic tourism gateway in Paraguay's long-term aviation plans. On regional airport league tables it is classified as a large airport by runway profile and international designation rather than by passenger volume, and its upgrades reflect Paraguay's policy of maintaining multiple jet-capable international fields to decentralise traffic from the capital.
