DINAC

Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (DINAC) is the central administrative body responsible for the regulation, supervision, and safety oversight of civil aviation within the Republic of Paraguay. Operating under the national government, it functions as both the civil aviation authority (CAA) and the primary operator of the country's airport infrastructure. The organisation is responsible for air traffic management, licensing of personnel, and ensuring compliance with international standards across the domestic aerospace sector. The agency manages Paraguay's primary gateways, including Silvio Pettirossi International Airport in Asunción and Guaraní International Airport in Ciudad del Este. Through these facilities, it facilitates operations for international carriers such as LATAM Airlines, Copa Airlines, and Avianca. The organisation maintains collaborative frameworks with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to ensure the integration of Paraguayan airspace into the global navigation system. Potential partners and contractors should verify current certification status regarding ICAO safety audits and regional air navigation agreements. It is necessary to confirm the specific jurisdictional requirements for ground handling, maintenance approvals, and aircraft registration within the Paraguayan registry. Parties engaged in infrastructure projects should validate current procurement protocols and airport master plans approved by the national executive.
