From March 29 to April 2, Rio de Janeiro’s Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport plays host to the inaugural International Brazil Air Show (IBAS). The first event of its kind in Brazil, IBAS will bring together industry professionals for a five-day conference focusing on the latest developments in international aerospace and airport infrastructure.
Brazil has a long tradition in the aerospace industry. IBAS seeks to showcase the country’s technological capabilities in research, and celebrate its rich history in aircraft manufacturing. The event is geared towards generating discussion and promoting business between the various sectors involved.
The first three days (Wednesday to Friday) are aimed exclusively at industry professionals, with the show opening to the general public over the final two days (Saturday and Sunday).
