While much of the world struggles in the grip of a financial crisis, the economies in Latin America–and Brazil in particular–appear stable and even growing.

Organizers expected activity at the sixth annual Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (Labace) to exceed last year’s, despite the downturn affecting business aviation elsewhere–and it did. This year’s event, running August
13 to 15, attracted 110 exhibitors–22 more than in 2008–and showed more than
60 aircraft on the static display, compared with 48 last year.
