The Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (LABACE) will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, from August 15 to 17. Organized by the Brazilian Business Aviation Association (ABAG, Associacão Brasileira de Aviação Geral), the event will be staged again at Congonhas Airport in the south of the city, the main access point for business aviation (although helicopters tend to use Campo de Marte, a stone’s throw north of the city’s financial district). Unlike other business aviation shows such as EBACE and ABACE, the U.S. NBAA is no longer involved in LABACE.
