Latin America’s fleet of fixed-wing business aircraft will grow by 44 percent by 2027, with the business aviation market worldwide experiencing overall growth of slightly more than 15 percent during the period, in Pratt & Whitney Canada’s view.



Satheeshkumar Kumarasingam, P&WC’s v-p of customer service, told AIN that the company’s internal assessment of the Latin American fixed-wing business aviation market—which the company hasn’t shared publicly until now— forecasts that GAMA-reporting OEMs will deliver 80 fixed-wing business aircraft to Latin America in 2027, compared with 41 in 2017.



P&WC also expects GAMA-reporting members to deliver from 817 to 820 aircraft worldwide in 2027, compared with 677 aircraft in 2017, according to Kumarasingam.
