One company that is certainly familiar to long-time LABACE visitors is the U.S. FBO and maintenance provider Banyan Air Service (Booth 3011), having exhibited at the show for the past 14 years. Located in South Florida at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), the company noticed the traffic it was attracting from Latin American business aircraft operators and made the decision to attend LABACE to enhance and expand those relationships in the region. The decision turned out to be a wise one. While many U.S. service providers suffered during the global economic downturn, Banyan thrived due to its continued Latin American business. The company eventually earned maintenance approvals from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Venezuela, and it expects to renew its Colombia authorization by the time of the show.
