The Latin American business aviation market is delivering on its promise, with Brazil leading the charge. The eighth annual Latin American Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (LABACE) will be held at Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, Brazil, from August 11 to 13. Last year’s event attracted more than 14,000 visitors and a record-setting number of static-display aircraft (56) and exhibitors (150). This year looks to deliver similar numbers.

Coinciding with LABACE will be several related forums. Bombardier’s Safety Standdown Latin America, now in its second year, will be held August 10 at the Grand Hyatt São Paulo Hotel (www.safetystanddown.com). Aeropodium’s “Business Aviation in Latin America: A Vision for the Future,” an August 12 summit, will explore business aviation developments in the region.

“When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. ”
