Paraguay Overflight Rules | DINAC & Asunción FIR SGFA

Do You Need a Paraguay Overflight Permit?

Not for every foreign private general-aviation overflight. Paraguay AIP GEN 1.2 states that foreign-registered private GA aircraft overflying Paraguay without landing must ensure the relevant ATC unit receives the flight plan at least two hours before planned entry. Item 18 must include specified operator, purpose and contact information.

Other categories, including commercial, State, military and specially regulated flights, may have different requirements.
