Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

While listed as 'closed' in public aviation databases, a specific closure date is not documented. This designation is likely a data classification issue rather than a physical decommissioning. Evidence suggests the heliport remains active for military use.

Reason for Closure

The 'closed' status in non-governmental databases likely stems from its nature as a private, restricted military facility. It was never a public airport, and its data was either removed from public records or was never intended for public dissemination. The heliport was not closed due to economic failure, accidents, or lack of use, but rather its data is not publicly maintained because it is an active military installation.

Current Status

Based on current satellite imagery, the site is an active and well-maintained military heliport. A clearly marked helipad ('H' within a circle) is visible on a paved surface inside the secure perimeter of the Comando de Artillería military base. The facility appears to be in a state of operational readiness for its original and ongoing purpose.

Historical Significance

Named 'Helipuerto del Comando de Artillería' (Heliport of the Artillery Command), its historical and ongoing purpose is to serve the Paraguayan Army's Artillery Command headquarters, located in the city of Paraguarí. Its operations have always been exclusively military, supporting the base with:
- Transportation of high-ranking officers and officials.
- Logistical support for moving personnel and critical equipment.
- Medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) during training exercises.
- Aerial observation and liaison flights.
It serves as a vital air mobility asset for a key command of the Paraguayan Army, likely servicing helicopters such as the Bell UH-1H 'Huey'.

Reopening Prospects

There are no plans or prospects for this heliport to 'reopen' to the public. As it is an integral part of a major, active military base, it will remain a restricted-access facility for the exclusive use of the Paraguayan Armed Forces. The concept of reopening is not applicable as it was never a civil or public-use airport.
