Uruguay AirExpo Looks to South America beyond Brazil
New AirExpo aims for South American wealthy at summer's end.

Uruguay’s resort city of Punta del Este will host the first AirExpo business aviation fair Feb. 6-8, 2015, rounding out the summer season when wealthy individuals from neighboring Argentina, Paraguay, Chile and Brazil flock to this orderly country's fashionable beaches.

“The Brazilian representative of a major bizjet manufacturer told me he expects Uruguay to be his foot in the door to the Argentine market,” fair organizer Ricardo Nogueira, told AIN. AirExpo is being put together in cooperation with CASA, the firm that manages the Punta del Este airport, and some 50 others on the continent.
