For the eighth year running, TAM Aviação Executiva has been voted Brazil’s best passenger air transport company in Transporte Moderno’s “Maiores and Melhores” (translated into English as “biggest and best”) ranking. TAM AE credits its investment in team training, modernized hangars, and new equipment purchases in preparation for the next phases of IS-BAH and IS-BAO. Last year, it became the first Brazilian company to obtain both certifications.
TAM president Leonardo Fiuza points to the company’s “focus on the expansion and improvement of processes, resulting in the segment’s best offers of products and services.” Those improvements include a new VIP room at its flagship São Paulo Congonhas Airport FBO, inaugurated in August during LABACE, and the opening of a new maintenance base at Goiânia in the Central-West, handling repairs, inspections, and upgrades in Cessna and Beechcraft airplanes. Additionally, its business aviation MRO in Jundaí is Latin America’s largest.
In October, TAM AE was recognized for the second consecutive year as the world’s top Bell helicopter sales organization. At the start of the year, it was lauded for selling the most Cessna Citations, as well as for the world’s highest Beechcraft King Air sales.
Demand for Collins Aerospace, Garmin, and Honeywell avionics installations and upgrades have also increased to meet upcoming Brazilian requirements such as ADS-B Out, the company noted.
