LABACE Opens Next Week in São Paulo

144 exhibitors and 44 static display aircraft on tap for an expected 20,000 attendees

While many companies are beginning to see some encouraging signs of recovery in the U.S. and Europe, most are turning to emerging markets such as China and Brazil, above, to compensate for continued weak sales in what have traditionally been the regions with greatest demand for business aircraft.

LABACE, Latin America’s largest business aviation event, opens on Tuesday in São Paulo with 144 exhibitors and 44 static display aircraft confirmed. According to event organizer Brazilian Association for General Aviation (ABAG), 20,000 visitors are expected to attend the three-day show at Congonhas Airport. Exhibitors are expected from OEMs, FBOs, MROs, and other sectors such as avionics, insurance, catering, fuel, and logistics.

TAM AE, the largest exhibitor for the seventh year running, is bringing seven aircraft from Textron Aviation (Beechcraft and Cessna) and Bell. The company comes to the show upbeat, with the first six months of sales already at 70% of all of last year’s sales. Thus, it expects LABACE to help boost sales for the traditionally stronger second half.
