Brazil Launches New International Airshow in Rio From 2017
The first staging of the new biennial International Brazil Air Show will be held in Rio de Janeiro from March 29 to April 2, 2017.

Organizers of the new International Brazil Air Show (IBAS) this month confirmed plans to hold the inaugural event from March 29 to April 2, 2017, at Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão International Airport. The new event, which will include exhibitors from both the commercial and military aviation sectors, will be held in alternate years to Chile’s established FIDAE show. Rio de Janeiro’s existing LADD defense exhibition will start a day after IBAS, with organizers predicting that this event will increasingly focus on military ground and marine equipment.
