Online Reviews Summary

There is a notable lack of recent traveler reviews and experiences for Aeropuerto Internacional Dr. Luis Maria Argaña (SGME (ESG)) in Mariscal Estigarribia, Paraguay. This is primarily because the airport is largely underutilized and serves primarily as a military/public facility, with no regular commercial passenger flights at present. While the runway is the longest in Paraguay, current information suggests very limited, if any, civilian passenger traffic.

What Travelers Love
  • Longest Runway in Paraguay: The airport boasts the country's longest runway, at 3,500 meters (11,483 feet), surpassing even Asunción's international airport. This technical capacity could be a significant asset if commercial operations were to increase.
Common Complaints
  • Absence of Commercial Flights: The most significant "complaint" from a traveler's perspective is the lack of active commercial airline service, meaning there are virtually no passenger experiences to review.
  • Limited Public Information/Reviews: Due to the infrequent passenger traffic, there is a scarcity of information regarding terminal facilities, amenities, cleanliness, security, customs, or transportation options.
  • Military Operation: The airport is operated by Paraguayan military authorities, which might impact public accessibility and services typically found in civilian airports.

In summary, Aeropuerto Internacional Dr. Luis Maria Argaña is currently not a hub for civilian passenger travel, and consequently, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences to gauge sentiment, facility quality, or operational efficiency. While there are discussions about potential future improvements and commercial flights, as of late 2025, it remains an airport primarily serving military purposes with a largely dormant commercial potential.
