Brazil’s business leaders–including its business aviation fraternity– are breathing a huge sigh of relief that president Dilma Roussef has finally gone (with today’s impeachment being confirmed in the country’s senate). The certainty that could bring to the economy means many are poised for an upturn in fortunes, and U.S.-based aircraft broker Jetcraft is among companies from outside Brazil looking in and hoping. According to Fabrice Roger, sales director for Latin America, Mexico is by far the main market in his territory–close to the booming U.S. market. And it has a growing economy, even if its currency is as weak as Brazil’s real.
