Location

Puerto Vallemi, Paraguay

Aeropuerto Nacional Doctor Juan Plate, designated by the IATA code VMI and ICAO code SGVM, serves the small river port town of Puerto Vallemi in the Concepción Department of Paraguay. The airport provides essential air access to an otherwise isolated region situated along the Paraguay River in the northern Chaco. The facility is a small domestic airport primarily supporting light aircraft and regional connectivity. It plays an important logistical role for communities in the upper Chaco, where road infrastructure is limited and river transport is the principal alternative means of access. Named after Doctor Juan Plate, the airport reflects Paraguay's tradition of honoring local figures in public infrastructure. Scheduled commercial service is minimal, and the airport primarily serves general aviation, charter, and occasional government or military flights.
