The first southeast Brazil edition of <a href="https://aviationxp.com.br/">Aviation XP</a> will take place on September 18 and 19 at Pampulha–Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport (SBBH) in Belo Horizonte. Supported by airport operator Motiva, the event is expected to bring together manufacturers, operators, service providers, and companies to showcase developments in business aviation in the capital of Minas Gerais.
Aviation XP has established itself as one of Brazil’s main aviation gatherings, with previous editions in Brazil’s midwest, northeast, and south. Attendees at the upcoming southeast show will have the opportunity to view aircraft on display and take demonstration flights.
“It is an honor for Motiva to host the first edition of Aviation XP in the Southeast, especially at Pampulha Airport, today the leader in fixed-wing aircraft movements in Brazil,” said Graziella Delicato, executive manager of aviation business at Motiva. “As leaders in the general aviation segment in Brazil, with 18% of the market, we believe in the power of meetings that drive business and strengthen the sector. Aviation XP is a strategic showcase, and we are proud to support this initiative in Belo Horizonte.”
Minas Gerais has experienced growth in general, business, and agricultural aviation. Carlos Drummond de Andrade, or more simply, Pampulha Airport, recorded more than 27,000 takeoffs and landings in 2023, reflecting the expansion of business aviation in the state. The state’s agricultural aircraft fleet grew 4% in 2024, reaching 104 aircraft and representing 3.8% of the national total.
According to the Brazilian General Aviation Association, Minas Gerais is home to 67 public airports, 199 private airports, 146 heliports, seven air taxi companies, 21 aerial agricultural service companies, and 55 maintenance shops.

New developments at airports including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
