Paranair announced that it will connect Asunción (ASU), Paraguay, with Córdoba (COR), Argentina, starting from March 6, 2024 with three weekly flights, competing directly with Aerolíneas Argentinas, which will start on the next April 2, 2024.
Both airlines seek to fill the gap left by Air Europa, which decided to cancel the link between Asunción and Córdoba in July 2023, favoring separate and non-stop connections to both South American cities.

Flights between Asunción and Córdoba will be operated on Mitsubishi CRJ-200 regional aircraft with a capacity of 50 passengers, for a total of 300 seats per week.

The company will compete with Aerolíneas Argentinas’ two weekly flights, which will be operated on Embraer 190, with a configuration of 96 seats and a total of 384 seats per week.
