Mexico and Brazil will be the leading Latin American representatives at the upcoming Paris Air Show from June 19 to 15.
Between them, they will almost entirely encompass the presence of Latin American companies at the French event.
The two countries, which will host 22 and 18 companies respectively, will each have their own pavilions.
Mexican Participation
Mexico will be represented by a mix of public and private companies, organizations, and trade fairs, including the likes of Aerocluster De Querétaro, American Industries Group, BJX Aerospace Cluster, and the International Airport of Querétaro.
Particularly noticeable is the robust participation from the Mexican state of Chihuahua, with the presence of Governor Maru Campos Galván at the event.
Governor Galván will make three investment announcements, meet with executives and representatives of aeronautical companies like Bell Helicopter and Safran, and inaugurate the Mexican Pavilion.
Brazilian Participation
Brazil’s broad participation includes prominent companies, such as Embraer, which will showcase its KC-390 Millenium Multipurpose Military Tactical Cargo Aircraft and E195-E2 passenger transport aircraft.
Other product exhibits include the A-29 Super Tucano, sustainability solutions, and an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle from its subsidiary, Eve.
Furthermore, Ocellott, participating for the first time in the Paris Air Show, will present its range of products, including Surge Suppressors, Aeronautical Backup Batteries, Power Converters, and eVTOL Propellant Batteries.
Additional Participation
Although Mexico and Brazil nearly monopolize Latin American presence at the Paris Air Show, Chile also makes its presence felt with two participants.
Empresa Nacional de Aeronáutica de Chile (Enaer) and the International Air and Space Fair (Fidae), the principal aerospace defense and security exhibition in Latin America, will host its next event in Santiago de Chile from April 9 to 14, 2024.
