Helipuerto Comando del Ejército

The heliport has not been closed. The incorrect 'closed' designation in some non-official aviation databases likely stems from the fact that PY-0068 is not an official ICAO code but a private or national identifier used in specific datasets. When these datasets are updated or cannot verify the status of a private military site, they often mark it as 'closed' by default. The facility itself, being the primary heliport for the Paraguayan Army's headquarters, was never closed down.

The site is an active, fully operational military heliport. It is used regularly by the Paraguayan Army Aviation (Aviación del Ejército Paraguayo) for logistical, administrative, and official transport flights. Satellite imagery and local reports confirm ongoing activity, with the helipad area being well-maintained and frequently used by military helicopters. Access is strictly restricted as it is located within a high-security military compound.

The Helipuerto Comando del Ejército is the primary and most strategically important heliport for the Paraguayan Army (Ejército Paraguayo). Its significance is tied directly to its location within the Army's central command headquarters in Asunción. Historically, it has served as the main point of aerial transport for the Army's high command, the Minister of Defense, and the President of Paraguay for military-related matters. Operations have always been exclusively military, handling the army's fleet of helicopters, primarily utility and transport aircraft like the Bell UH-1H 'Huey'. It has been a central point for command and control, VIP transport, and ceremonial flights for decades.

Not applicable. As the heliport was never closed and is not a public facility, there are no plans or prospects for 'reopening'. It will continue to serve its function as a private, active military heliport for the Paraguayan Army Command.
