The National Directorate of Civil Aviation (Dinac) confirmed that Gol Linhas Aéreas has reopened talks for the direct route between Asunción and Miami. Tuesday's meeting with the Chief of Staff of the Presidency, Javier Giménez, may define the next steps, including the issue of the subsidy demanded by the airline.

Importante avenida en el área metropolitana de Asunción, Paraguay.
Paraguay's Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) informed that temporary detours on Silvio Pettirossi Avenue, between Elizardo Aquino and Ñu Guasu avenues, remain in effect for the construction of the foundation heads of the viaduct for the Las Residentas road corridor. The measure, expected to last about ten days, alters traffic in both directions and requires increased driver attention.
Due to road corridor works, a 300-meter stretch of the Silvio Pettirossi highway has been closed, with a detour implemented. Drivers are seeking alternative routes to avoid congestion during peak hours.
IPS President Isaías Fretes announced the removal of 817 items from the vademecum that were purchased but not used, as part of efforts to combat a monthly deficit of up to US$26 million. An audit of the institution's properties was also announced, with support from Executive Branch auditor Alberto Contrera.
Foundation work for the pillars of the future Las Residentas Corridor viaduct in Luque causes detours on the Silvio Pettirossi highway between General Aquino Avenue and Ñu Guasu. The closures are expected to last until May 26, subject to weather conditions.
A dense fog covered Asunción and cities of the Central Department on Saturday morning, reducing visibility and affecting ground and air traffic. The Director of Meteorology, Eduardo Mingo, explained that the phenomenon is called fog when visibility is less than one kilometer, and mist when it is greater. The Silvio Pettirossi Airport in Luque recorded low visibility, but no flights were canceled, according to Dinac.
