Paraguay wants Air Nostrum subsidiary Paranair as its flag carrier

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Paraguay’s Minister of Industry and Commerce Luis Alberto Castiglioni said that the company represents “the opportunity to have an efficient airline” with which to connect with a large part of the region and other countries too.

Castiglioni recently said that “Spain is our main gateway to Europe and the leading investor in Paraguay.”

“We have increased our trade links with a large part of the world and we want Spain to be, as it has been, a fundamental and strategic player in this growth process,” the Paraguayan Minister noted.

In a recent meeting with Air Nostrum CEO Carlos Bertomeu, he stressed that the airline “is part of Paraguay’s history, of a successful history,” and the company has been asked to “become Paraguay’s flagship airline”.
