Opening the 2016 LABACE show at São Paulo’s Congonhas Airport earlier today, Leonardo Fiuza, new chairman of Brazilian business aviation association ABAG, observed that everyone present, young or old, knows that, “We are facing a situation never seen before,” but suggested they remember the old saying, “Crisis always brings the opportunity for change.” He also thanked his predecessor, Eduardo Marson, for his two terms (four years) as head of the association. Among the elements of upheaval in the region, he frequently cited “this week’s happenings,” referring to the impeachment trial of president Dilma Rousseff in the senate, with the vote on her fate expected to take place before the sun rises tomorrow.
