New York, London, Milan, and Paris are gearing up and getting ready for their Fashion Month contributions. The designers for London Fashion Week are creating, tweaking, re-creating, and finalizing their masterpieces that are sure to be flabbergasting and astounding. The Big 4 are ready to hit the runways with their four back to back fashion weeks kicking off with the Big Apple, going into Big Ben’s home, before hitting the Fashion Capital and ending with a bang in the City of Lights.

It’s clear that the winds of style are changing, especially when designers like Victoria Beckham acknowledge the change, “When I started out in fashion, everything had to be structured, tight and controlling. And, now, I’m at a point where I think – I could wear a great big parka [windproof jacket], that could be quite fabulous. I haven’t always got to show off my size, show off my shape. It’s a turning point for me.”

There aren’t any fashionistas that can contain their excitement as this time draws nearer, which begs the question, where did it all begin? How did New York, London, Milan, and Paris come to have their own Fashion Weeks?

London’s Fashion Week is the youngest of the four at the age of 35. The British Fashion Council [BFC] along with the London Development Agency [LDA] and Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills [BIS} in October of 1983.

But, unlike the other Fashion Weeks, this retail-focused event doesn’t end when all the designers have had their say on the runway. The London Fashion Week Festival [LFWF] kicks off right after with a 4-day event that is open to the public. This is when consumers get the chance to buy the designs that sparks their interest as they walk the catwalk.

That was then, but here we are in 2018 in the run-up to the Spring/Summer collection, anxiously waiting to see what these designers have in store!

LABACE 2019 São Paulo

LABACE 2019, the annual Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition will take place on August 13^th – 15^th. Part of the NBAA partnership of trade shows, the event attracts local business and international companies. The final countdown to the largest Latin American business aviation event – LABACE Brazil – has started, we look forward to seeing you there.

LABACE, The Leading Business Aviation Event in Latin America

LABACE turns 17-years-old this year. In its 17 years and 16 shows, the event has attracted over 1,830 exhibitors that have exhibited over 650 aircraft for over 145,000 visitors.

As usual, the LABACE location will be at the Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The show will attract the world’s biggest names in aviation, like Dassault Falcon, Garmin, Bombardier, and, of course, Jetex – where we look forward to meeting with industry professionals and discussing how our GATGRU terminal can serve you.

LABACE, Uniting the Community

This event gives the exhibitors the opportunity to connect with their audience while teaching them about the latest developments happening in the world of aviation. Local and International companies participate, alongside manufacturers, operators, maintenance shops, interior finishers, equipment providers, and airport builders, developers.

LABACE is part of the NBAA, the National Business Aviation Association and joins 4 other annual business aviation events: ABACE held in Asia, EBACE in Europe and NBAA BACE in the USA.

Visitors will get the chance to check out the latest aircraft to hit the market in the static area, which is located on the airport’s auxiliary ramp space. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the stands that are in the chalet villages.

Delegates will have the opportunity to attend a number of seminars and discussions that cover a wide range of topics. Those attending any of the seminars can expect lively and constructive sessions, as the top industry representatives talk about the critical issues and will lay out the foundations for the future of business aviation expected in the region.

At LABACE 2018 discussions covered a range of topics including ‘gray charter’, general aviation’s’ importance in Brazil and growing support for regional airports. The event highlighted the importance of regulations to fight piracy linked to gray market charters as well as irregular maintenance and import and sale of parts. Brazil’s General Aviation market is important to the nation – not only does it represent 92% of the country’s total aircraft fleet, it also helps to connect remote communities that commercial airlines can not. To help get smaller airports operational faster, the Brazilian governments has made regulatory changes in order to make operations cheaper and openings faster, an important provision for the Brazilian economy.

LABACE 2019 Schedule

The LABACE 2019 schedule will be available to view at the event website. When more details of the 2019 event are released, we will update this post accordingly.

Jetex is proud to have built up a strong presence in Latin America, with FBO’s in Santiago, Chile, Toluca, Mexico and Sao Paulo, Brazil. We have become regulars with our instantly recognizable booth at LABACE, the region’s biggest gathering for the business aviation community.  Our team looks forward to meeting you at this must-attend event and discussing how you can benefit from the broad range of services that we provide, including our location in association with GATGRU.

 

 

LABACE, Flying to Brazil

Are you heading to LABACE São Paulo, Brazil?

Whether you fly your jet or need a charter, we have you covered! Our Trip Planning team will get everything set and ready for you to go, from the permits and permissions for departure and arrival, NOTAMs and transportation. All flights traveling to Brazil will need to have these documents ready:

• The Landing Permit
• Pilot in Command [PIC]
• Second in Command [SIC]
• First Class Medicals & Type Ratings
• Worldwide Insurance Certificate [including 3rd party liability clause of behalf of the operator]
• Full Flight Schedule
• Details on Purpose of Flight
• Operations Specifications [D085 & B050] – for Charter
• Aircraft Operator Certificate [AOC] or Air Carrier Certificate [ACC] – for Charter
• Valid Passports for Passengers and Crew
• Passenger Visas [Certain Nationalities]
• Crew Visas [if staying in Brazil longer than 10 days]
• Pilot’s Licenses
• General Declaration [GenDec]

LABACE, Taxiing Options

The event takes place at the Congonhas Airport [IATA: CGH, ICAO: SBSP], São Paulo’s domestic-only airport, which is why this airport cannot serve as an Airport of Entry [AoE]. For this reason, the most convenient option for visitors traveling to the event to taxi into Guarulhos International Airport [IATA: GRU, ICAO: SBGR].

This airport operates 24-hours a day and offers a full range of ground handling services. The only thing to keep in mind is that, typically, aircraft parking is limited to 48-hours with a PPR [Prior Permission Required], and extensions are difficult to come by because of the airport’s traffic.

SBGR is not the only option, other airports work as an entry point. Alternate airports include Campinas International Airport [IATA: VCP, ICAO: SBKP], Manaus International Airport [IATA: MAO, ICAO: SBEG], or Recife International Airport [IATA: REC, ICAO: SBRF].

Ready to take-off to LABACE?

Jetex can take you there! Let us know what your plans are for traveling to LABACE 2019 in São Paulo and we can take the reins from there. We’ll handle all the permit arrangements, the ground handling, and the fuel uplifts – all while offering excellent concierge services. Our skilled and dedicated team are on standby 24/7 waiting to help.

Let us complete your journey!

Going back to the 1990s, there were grains of sand waiting for innovation and ambition to create a great city that would become home to the tallest, the biggest, the fastest, and the best, all while having an incredible skyline – this is Dubai!

Now, everyone knows Dubai. There are plenty of people that are itching to visit the land that homes the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa, and see the world’s biggest fountain show that sits just outside the world’s largest mall, the Dubai Mall.

The city is quick-paced and always changing, so it is expected that its main airport Dubai International Airport [DXB] is busy keeping up with the constant growth. DXB is the world’s busiest airport when it comes to international passenger traffic, Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 movements, and all this while operating only two runways.

It is apparent why people would be packing their bags to head to this multi-cultural city. It is also apparent why people would want to avoid the world’s busiest airport, especially when they can fly into the VIP Terminal at the Al Maktoum International Airport [DWC] and be streamlined through a luxurious FBO.

Bigger, Better, Grandeur

We expanded our Dubai FBO in 2017, from about 10,000-ft² [~950-m²] to 16,000-ft² [~1,500m²]. This expansion took place to provide our customers and crew with a more comfortable and spacious experience.

For the leisure travelers using our FBO’s facilities, they can kick back in our entertainment area, rest up in one of our Metronaps, take advantage of our massage chairs, or take part in a friendly game of pool. Travelers passing through our Dubai FBO can also enjoy shaking out their legs on the exercise bikes, challenge their minds with a game of chess, or reflect while playing the piano.

For the business travelers, the same amenities are also at their disposal, with the added benefit of making use out of our equipped Boardroom for any of their meeting needs, online or offline.

Our customers will always feel at home at our Dubai FBO, we offer them with a warm welcoming while providing them with many services:

• Obtaining Overflight Permits
• Flight Planning
• Entry & Landing Permits
• Ground Handling
• Passenger & Crew Transportation
• Passenger & Crew Visa Arrangements
• Passenger & Crew Passport Clearance
• Passenger & Crew Baggage Clearance
• Concierge Services
• In-flight Catering
• Aircraft Cleaning & Detailing
• Executive Lounge
• Crew Lounge
• Meeting Rooms
• Multilingual & Multicultural Understanding Staff
• Long-term Car Parking Facilities
• Security Services
• Arrival & Departure Slots
• Walk-In Shower Facilities
• Cigar Lounge
• Duty Free
• Kids Corner

An Unbeatable Location

Getting around this star city can sometimes be confusing, but we can get you where you want to go. Landing at our FBO means traveling to the different parts of the city without having to deal with traffic. Skiing in the desert at the Mall of the Emirates is only a 35-minute drive away. Heading to downtown Dubai to watch the fountain show and admire the magnificence of Burj Khalifa is just a 45-minute car ride. Or take an hour’s drive to head to the UAE’s capital and visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

For Your Aircraft

Al Maktoum International Airport [DWC] has one of the most advanced runways and taxiways that has no restrictions and can accommodate various types of aircrafts – every pilot’s dream! Parking the aircraft so close to the FBO means being streamlined through the immigration process to continue the rest of your journey.

Permits

Landing permits are mandatory for all private and charter flights flying into Dubai. Permits can be acquired within six hours. However, our team will arrange for everything so that our clients can focus on other things that need their attention.

Do you need a slot?

Yes, slots are required at this location but are readily available.

Once upon a history, traveling took days, not hours and was difficult, but not anymore! Not with the beauty and serenity of flight.

Today, flying is our number one mode of transport and many people have been on an aircraft at least once. However, only a few of the many millions around the world have the luxury of saying they own their very own aircraft.

Many of us are aware that the capital of Mexico is Mexico City. However, not many of us know that the capital state of Mexico is Toluca.

Toluca, also called Toluca de Lerdo, is at the heart of a growing and expanding urban area making this area the 5th largest area in Mexico by population. The Licenciado Adolfo Mateos International Airport [IATA: TLC/ICAO: MMTO], otherwise known as the Toluca International Airport, can handle around 6 million passengers in a year.

Toluca’s International Airport has always been a primary option for General Aviation [GA] flights heading to Mexico City. MMTO is a convenient point of entry for someone headed to the nation’s capital city, which makes our Toluca FBO very strategically placed and ready to complete any journey.

Collaboration Equals Success

We run our Toluca FBO in collaboration with the local operator, EOLO PLUS, to provide our clients with nothing but excellence. Travelers passing through can enjoy Mexican artwork and sculptures displayed in the executive lounge. This facility is proud to boast its hanger space and offers visitors and crew with:

• 24/7 operations
• Aircraft parking
• Airport customs and immigration from a remote position
• Own Catering Service
• Concierge
• Crew accommodation arrangements
• Crew and VIP passenger transportation
• Crew lounge
• Executive lounge
• Direct ramp access
• Entry and landing permits
• Flight planning, weather briefing, and NOTAMs
• Own Fuel Service
• Full dispatch package
• Ground handling and GSE services
• Hangarage
• Meeting rooms
• Multilingual staff
• Security services
• Shower facilities

An Unbeatable Location

MMTO is recognized as a regional hub and is an ideal airport to taxi into for those that intend to head to the heart of Mexico City, which is only a thirty-minute drive away. The airport is close to more than just Mexico City with Valle de Bravo/Avandaro being one hour and twenty minutes away by car or twenty minutes by helicopter. Visitors may also like the views as they travel an hour and a half by car to get to the volcano, Nevado de Toluca National Park.

This private airport is also a great stopping point for travelers flying to South America from the United States because the aircraft can make a stop to refuel, resupply, or rest before taking off for the final set destination.

Landing in Toluca

It’s a known fact that the two hardest parts of a flight are also the essential parts of a flight – landing, and take-off. However, when flying into Toluca aircraft operators need to be aware of some other challenges. The airport is 8750-ft [2667 meters] above sea level, and the weather can sometimes be a little challenging – expect rain most of the time and expect fog in the early hours of the morning.

Certifications

Our personnel and teams are dedicated and trained to deliver a high-quality service, while meeting the highest safety standards. Because of this dedication, the Toluca FBO received both the ISBAH and the ISBAO, two international certifications by IBAC.

SENEAM Fees

SENAM fees are fees for flying into or through Mexico. These fees were implemented in 2011 by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation. All the planes that are flying in out of the country get tracked by this agency and are expected to pay the aviation fuel uplift charge which is inclusive of the SENEAM fees.

Cabotage Regulations

The Mexican authorities monitor all flights strictly for any cabotage violations, especially when a foreign aircraft transports Mexican citizens. It’s for this reason that a letter needs to be provided, which needs to detail what the relationship is between the passenger and the organization that owns the aircraft.

Required Permits

In Mexico, it is mandatory for aircrafts to have a landing permit. However, acquiring the permit is an easy process that takes only twenty minutes after landing. Our team can handle all permit requirements to ensure a smooth and flawless journey.

Do you need a slot?

No, airport slots are not needed, and parking spaces are offered based on availability.
