Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Silvio Pettirossi International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at ASU

Silvio Pettirossi International Airport is connected to Asunción and the wider Paraguay transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Line 30 "Vanguardia" (branches 30-2 and 30-6) connects the airport to the Centro Financiero and Centro Histórico in roughly 40–50 minutes, running about 5am–8pm with fewer departures on weekends; payment is by rechargeable card only (Jaha or Más), sold at the airport — no cash accepted on board.

Taxi

Official 24-hour taxi stands operate outside arrivals, with a ride to central Asunción typically taking 20–30 minutes depending on traffic; no fixed fare was found, so use only the clearly marked airport-stand taxis rather than unofficial offers.

Rideshare

Uber and the local app Muv both operate at the airport — request after baggage claim and meet your driver in the designated pickup area; availability may be limited late at night.

Car Rental

Rental counters are in the arrivals hall, though specific company names weren't independently confirmed — check availability with your preferred chain in advance.

Insider tip

Uber or Muv are the simplest options if you land during the day; have a rechargeable transit card ready if you plan to take the bus, since cash isn't accepted on board.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Silvio Pettirossi International Airport website before travel.
