It’s not that aircraft aren’t being sold in Brazil and other parts of Latin America, but that transactions are taking longer to conclude, according to Gulfstream Aerospace, which will once again have a strong presence at the LABACE show in São Paulo. “We haven’t seen a big decrease in discussions about [new] aircraft, the difference has been that customers are taking longer to make a decision,” said Fabio Rebello, regional senior vice president for sales in Latin America. “There are still factors that make it uncomfortable to make a decision [to purchase] but we are now looking at a better horizon that will allow us to move on.”
