São Paulo Catarina Executive Airport managing director Ronie Wiston Guimaraes said the annual Catarina Aviation Show—the latest edition of which runs through tomorrow—is growing in tandem with the airfield itself. He said this year’s three-day aviation fair has doubled in size versus 2024, while monthly business aircraft movements have climbed to 2,000, with about 10% of those being international flights.

To illustrate the growth of the annual luxury markets show (the event also attracts supercar and yacht dealers as exhibitors), Guimaraes highlighted the Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G600 on the static display. “All the business jet makers are here—Gulfstream, Pilatus, Embraer, and Boeing have a stand.”
