About Silvio Pettirossi International Airport

Silvio Pettirossi International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 25.24° S, 57.52° W, on America/Asuncion time (UTC-3).

Silvio Pettirossi International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 02/20, measures 10,997 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the long-haul capable category: widebodies operate comfortably, though the very longest sectors may need a payload trade. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 02/20 is aligned roughly north/south, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that north/south alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
