Latin America Business Jet Market Trends

The Light Jet Segment Will Showcase Remarkable Growth During the Forecast Period

A light jet is a small class of aircraft that generally carries between four and eight passengers and is used for short-distance travel since these jets cannot carry more fuel. Such jets can also access small airports with short runways located in remote or public areas enabling them to land in smaller airports, thereby making light jets ideal for business travel.

The recent surge in the number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) has also driven the demand for such aircraft. On the other hand, aircraft companies are now focusing on developing new and advanced light jets to increase their product portfolio and cater to diversifying customer requirements. For instance, in August 2023, Embraer announced that their Phenom 300 light business jet accounted for the majority of light-jet deliveries in the second quarter and stood at 22 deliveries within the Latin American region.
