Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Circa mid-2016. The heliport was the private facility of businessman Nicolás Bo, who passed away in May 2016. Official aviation records reflect its closure around this period, as its primary user was deceased.

Reason for Closure

The closure was due to the death of its owner and sole operator, Nicolás Bo. The heliport was a private facility located at his personal riverside estate for his exclusive use. With his passing, the heliport's function became obsolete.

Current Status

The site remains a private, high-value residential estate, reportedly still owned by the Bo family. The physical helipad, a circular paved area, is still intact and visible on the property's grounds in recent satellite imagery. However, it is no longer registered as an active aviation facility and is not in use. The area has seen a dramatic increase in property value and accessibility with the March 2024 inauguration of the 'Héroes del Chaco' bridge, which connects this formerly isolated area directly to Asunción.

Historical Significance

The heliport's significance was not public or commercial, but rather personal and symbolic. It served as the private transport hub for Nicolás Bo, one of Paraguay's most powerful and wealthy 20th-century business magnates. It allowed him to travel quickly and directly between his secluded mansion in Chaco'i (part of the Villa Hayes district) and the capital city of Asunción, located just across the Paraguay River. The existence of a private heliport at his residence was a testament to his immense wealth and influence in the country.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Helipuerto Nicolás Bo as an officially registered heliport. As it is part of a private estate, any future aviation use would be at the sole discretion of the property owners and would require re-registration with aviation authorities. It is highly unlikely to be converted into a public or commercial facility.
