LATAM Paraguay: A Fleet of Five Aircraft Connecting Asunción to the World
LATAM Paraguay is the Paraguayan subsidiary of the LATAM Airlines group, based at Silvio Pettirossi Airport in Asunción. It is one of the smallest subsidiaries of the South American group, with operations sized for a limited but growing domestic market, relying almost entirely on the connections offered by the other LATAM hubs to reach the rest of the world.
The fleet
The entire operation relies on five Airbus A320-200s, configured with 174 seats, a compact fleet consistent with the size of the Paraguayan market.
Routes and network
From Asunción the airline operates six routes to four destinations in as many countries: Lima, Santiago de Chile and São Paulo remain the main connections. In August 2025 weekly frequencies increased by 50%, from 14 to 21 flights a week, to improve connections to Europe, South Africa and the United States via the group's hubs. At the same time, the airline discontinued its routes to Santa Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia and Ciudad del Este, while a new direct link to Uruguay awaits government authorization.
What passengers say
- In 2025 LATAM carried more than 340,000 passengers in Paraguay, a growing volume for a market of this size.
- On the cargo side, the airline carried 7,400 tons to seven international destinations, up 22% from the previous year.
LATAM Paraguay is a good fit for those departing from Asunción to Lima, Santiago or São Paulo and intending to continue their journey via the LATAM group's connections to more distant destinations. It is less suitable for those who were looking for a direct link to Bolivia or Ciudad del Este, both routes recently suspended.
If your trip includes a connection with an international flight of another LATAM subsidiary, always check the baggage rule that applies to the specific segment: conditions can vary between the group's different subsidiaries.
