BAE Systems has announced a plan to implement a new “regionalized” strategy to support the Latin American market, where some 90 of its aircraft are now in service with nearly 40 operators. The company unveiled the new support strategy at its first ever Americas operators’ conference, held in Lima, Peru, May 23 and 24. Coincidentally, the conference took place on the 14th anniversary of the founding of StarPeru, which now flies nine BAe 146 regional jetliners.

As recently as 2005 only “a handful” of BAE Systems customers populated Latin America, noted the company. In six years its presence has spread throughout the continent and across its regional product line.
