Belly capacity between Florida and Paraguay
Eastern Airlines began two weekly nonstop passenger flights between Asunción and Miami this week, adding new direct service to Paraguay’s capital city. All flights will utilise B767-300.
Justo Apodaca, consul general of Paraguay in Miami: "Thanks to the efforts made by national authorities, in particular the ministry of foreign affairs and the embassy of Paraguay in Washington D.C., along with representatives from Eastern Airlines and Miami-Dade County, the nonstop connectivity of passengers and cargo between Paraguay and the USA will soon become a reality, for the benefit of both nations."
In addition to the two weekly Asunción flights, Eastern currently operates charter flights four times a week to Guayaquil, Ecuador, twice weekly to Montevideo, Uruguay; and once weekly to Guatemala City. (ah)
