Latin American ground support provider Consorcio Aviation has obtained the official approval of its Aviation Security Procedure (AVSEC) from the Civil Aviation Security Sub-Directorate (SAVSEC) of Paraguay's Direccion Nacional de Aeronautica Civil (DINAC), for implementation at Silvio Pettirossi International airport in Asuncion, Paraguay.
This certification confirms that the company's security procedures comply with the requirements established in the National Civil Aviation Security Program (PNSAC), aligned with the international standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Security is one of the fundamental pillars of aviation. Every air operation, whether passenger, cargo, general aviation, air ambulance or special missions, depends on strict procedures designed to protect aircraft, passengers, crews and airport operations.
Obtaining this certification was the result of a two-year process of preparation, review and evaluation, during which Consorcio Aviation demonstrated that its operational procedures meet the regulatory requirements established by the national aviation authority. As part of the process, aviation authorities conduct regular audits and continuous evaluations to ensure that security procedures are properly implemented and remain aligned with international aviation standards.
According to Jorge Fragnaud, airport operations manager at Consorcio Aviation: “Obtaining this approval means that we are a reliable company that complies with the highest aviation security standards.”
Consorcio Aviation provides comprehensive aircraft handling services at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, supporting operations including passenger flights, cargo operations, general aviation, air ambulance flights and military operations.
Within these services, security plays a critical role in every stage of the operation.
Services include: passenger check-in assistance; flight operations coordination (DOV); cargo representation services; VIP passenger assistance; and aviation security services.
Security procedures include the reception, distribution and custody of checked baggage, as well as the safe transportation of baggage between the terminal and the aircraft and its final delivery to passengers. The company also performs aircraft security inspections, access control procedures, perimeter monitoring and aircraft protection during overnight parking or extended ground time.
For cargo operations, procedures include the supervision and custody of cargo during transfers between the cargo terminal and the aircraft, ensuring the integrity and safety of logistics operations.
For airlines, executive aviation operators and international clients, working with service providers that strictly comply with aviation security standards is essential. The approval of this AVSEC procedure represents a guarantee that flights will be handled by a company certified in aviation security, one of the most critical aspects of the aviation industry.
With this certification, Consorcio Aviation reaffirms its commitment to operational excellence and aviation safety, strengthening its position as a trusted aviation services provider in Paraguay and across the region.
