Less than a year after it opened the world’s largest full-service helicenter in São Paulo, Brazilian firm HBR has its sights set on expansion in more locations. The company’s first helicopter base occupies 14.5 acres, and its 107,600-sq-ft storage hangar can shelter up to 150 rotorcraft. The four-acre ramp has 19 pads for simultaneous operations, with a central 560-foot-long taxiway. The facility offers a luxurious passenger lounge, seven A/V-equipped conference rooms, a restaurant, coffee bar and terrace overlooking the property. A separate 37,000-sq-ft pilots’ building features weather monitoring, computers and free Wi-Fi, cable television, a simulator room, gym, locker room with showers and sauna, snooze room and meeting rooms.
