ASU Asuncion

How deep the ASU board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from ASU. This reads the same 11 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 8of the 11 destinations are flown by one airline
• 6destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 36.4%of the destinations name Silk Way Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at ASU

Ten airlines appear on the ASU board and they do not hold it evenly. Silk Way Airlines is on 4 of the 11 destinations, 36.4 per cent of them, and on 3 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 2.9 of the 15.1 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Gol on 2 destinations. 7 of the 10 airlines at ASU appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at ASU: one airline on 36.4 per cent of the destinations and the other 63.6 per cent spread across 9 airlines. A cancellation inside the Silk Way Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 7 destinations Silk Way Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the ASU board is daily

Of the 11 destinations, 5 are flown at least once a day and 6 are not, 2 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the ASU board is flown 6 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: ASU to San Salvador de Jujuy (JUJ) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 12 of the 15.1 departures a day, 79.3 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves ASU is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.

The five destinations out of ASU where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from ASU

The desk holds the return direction for 8 of the 11 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 8 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through ASU is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

The clock at ASU

ASU keeps America/Asuncion time, seven hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 02:00 at ASU, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for two hours. That is a narrow window for a signature, a customs query or an authority to release, and it is the reason a consignment for ASU is briefed the day before rather than on the morning it flies.

Where ASU turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Paraguay country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

Three courier postings name ASU as the airport a courier here flies from: Asunción, Capiatá and Limpio.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with ASU already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 11 destinations above.
