Asuncion, IP Agency.- Paraguay and Argentina, through the president of the National Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DINAC), Nelson Mendoza Rolón, and the Secretary of Air Transport of the Argentine Nation, Franco Mogetta, signed a Memorandum of Understanding for immediate application. They agreed to free up routes, eliminate the limit on flights, and include traffic rights up to the 9th freedom of the air.
