Growth Driven by the Booming Business Aviation Sector:
Business aviation has experienced remarkable growth since

powered planes, and helicopters, the sector posted impressive growth rates.
Between June 2022 and June 2023, the jet fleet expanded by 7.0%, while the
number of turbine helicopters increased by 7.0%, driven by the resurgence of
offshore operations. Noteworthy is the remarkable 12.7% growth in the turboprop
aircraft fleet, a result of the thriving Brazilian agribusiness. These numbers

landscape, as well as in strengthening air transportation's capacity and connectivity.
