Aeródromo de Filadelfia (FLM/SGFI) is a small airfield serving Filadelfia, the capital of Boquerón Department in Paraguay’s remote central Chaco. It provides an important general-aviation link for the surrounding Mennonite colonies, cattle ranches, and nearby communities. The airport is located close to town and is primarily used for private, charter, and utility flights rather than large scheduled airline service.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm operations and ground access before travel during the Chaco rainy season, when heavy rains can affect local roads and remote airstrip conditions.
🚖 Getting There
Filadelfia is a compact town, so the airport is a short drive from most hotels and services; however, taxis and remises may not be waiting on arrival. Pre-arrange a pickup with your hotel or a local operator, especially for early or late flights. Overland access from Asunción is via the Transchaco Highway (Ruta 9) and takes several hours, with long-distance buses also serving Filadelfia.
