While some manufacturers, including Bombardier, have treated São Paulo’s two business aviation events as an either/or choice in recent years, the Canadian OEM attended both the Catarina Aviation Show in May and LABACE this week. Its Challenger 3500 has featured at both shows as part of a Latin American demonstration tour, with the larger Global 8000 making its debut only at the Catarina event.

“Bombardier is uniquely positioned in the Brazilian market, and as our extensive Latin American tour will attest, we are very committed to this important region,” said Frank Vento, Bombardier’s v-p of sales for the U.S. and Latin America.
