Business Aviation spreads its wings over
the whole Latin America and experiences unprecedented growth rates.
Never in history, had the region's countries, such as Mexico, Brazil,
Venezuela, Chile and Argentina, enjoyed so striving development, which
is predicted to continue in years ahead. As the chosen place for the
Latin America Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition, Brazil has
plenty of business opportunities, with well-developed agricultural,
mining, manufacturing, and service industries. Benefiting from this
strong economy, business aviation is also booming in the country,
offering profitable opportunities for aircraft manufacturers. In fact,
Brazil is already the Latin America's second-largest market for business
aircraft and ranks fifth in the globe, considering turbo-props, jets,
and rotorcraft. Aviation equipment and
services, as well as large to small fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters
will find no less than a robust market with potential to grow in a
steady pace. Offering momentum for business, LABACE has proven to be the
most important aviation event in the region. Being a real meeting spot
for demand and offer, the show steeply increases its participation in
Latin America's business aviation, by providing exhibitors with hot
prospective opportunities and attendees with a wide range of aviation
solutions. I would like to thank the companies that contributed for the
notable success of LABACE 2008. |
