On June 10, the Miami-Dade Aviation Department and the Civil Aviation Authority of Paraguay officially signed a Sister Airports agreement.
This agreement between Miami International airport and Asunción Silvio Pettirossi International will have the effect of establishing a commitment by both airports to assist each other in improving their respective cargo and passenger operations. Also included are planned infrastructure developments and air service development and general marketing research.
A Miami-Dade County trade mission to Paraguay in November 2019, led by Commissioner Souto, included the airport's Director and CEO Lester Sola and PortMiami Director and CEO Juan Kuryla.
After meeting with government and private sector leaders, both sides agreed to work on creating a Miami-Asunción air service and to draft a Sister Airport agreement with Asunción International airport and a Sister Seaport agreement with the Port of Asunción.
