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, 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].
