‘Tremendous Growth’ for Business Jets in Latin America says Bombardier
In response to a growing interest in business aircraft in Latin American countries, Bombardier Business Aircraft announced that it will showcase four of its business aircraft at this year’s Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (LABACE) at Congonhas airport in Sao Paulo.

Embraer Reports Second Quarter Revenue
Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer released second-quarter earnings in which revenues totaled $1761.3 million compared to $1557 million during the same quarter last year.

The first Pilatus PC-24 prototype leaves the production hangars
A world premiere took place on August 1st, on Swiss National Day when Pilatus Aircraft Ltd officially unveiled its first-ever PC-24 prototype. Some 25,000 spectators watched as the show took place at Buochs airfield in central Switzerland. The interest and attention which the event attracted were simply overwhelming!
Typically, uniquely, unmistakeably – Pilatus! And so indeed was the presentation by Pilatus of its very first PC-24.

BusinessAviationVoice: Airplane Shipments Encouraging
The general aviation aircraft shipment report is out for the second quarter, and there is a reason to be encouraged. Overall, airplane shipments increased by 4.8 percent, while airplane billings rose by 4.6 percent, to $10.9 billion, according to the General Aircraft Manufacturers Association (GAMA).
For the first six months of 2014, business jets led all categories of airplane shipments. They were up 12.4 percent—more than triple the number of piston-powered aircraft shipped—compared to the first half of 2013.
The question is can the industry can sustain the momentum over the longer term?
