King Airs, Light Jets Anchor Textron Aviation in Latin America

Textron Aviation will bring a Cessna and Beechcraft display to LABACE 2026 in São Paulo from 4-6 August, showcasing the Citation Latitude, Citation CJ3+, Citation M2, Beechcraft King Air 360, Grand Caravan EX and Turbo Skylane alongside TAM Aviação Executiva at booth SD65. The appearance underlines the company’s focus on Latin America, where it sees strong demand for business transportation, regional connectivity, special missions and utility flying.

Brazil remains a key market in that strategy, with more than 760 Beechcraft King Air turboprops in operation there. Textron also points to the region’s large installed base across its turbine fleet, using the show to keep its current-production aircraft in front of operators, owner-pilots and mission users.

LABACE is Latin America’s largest business aviation event and gives Textron a platform to promote both its turboprops and light jets to a wide regional customer base. The mix of aircraft on display reflects the company’s emphasis on missions that range from short-haul corporate travel to backcountry utility work and special operations.
