Universal Aviation, the FBO ground services division of Universal Weather and Aviation is expanding its presence in the Latin America and Caribbean market with the addition of two new locations in Guatemala City, Guatemala and Luque, Paraguay.
The new Universal Aviation Certified members include: Air Station S.A. At La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City, which has a 20-year track record of success and can expedite passengers and crew in and out of the airport in 25-20 minutes for international flights. Consorcio Aviation SRL at Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi is the second location. It has more than 30 years experience in ground operations and supports all types of missions and aircraft from wide-body and cargo to medical.
Commenting on the expansion, Adolfo Aragon Sr. Vice President, Universal Aviation, said: “Business aviation traffic to Latin America and the Caribbean continues to remain strong in most destinations, exceeding pre-pandemic levels.” He also noted however that this traffic influx combined with the global supply chain issues and staffing shortages presents new operating challenges.
“To address this, we continue to identify highly successful local handlers that share our commitment to standards and service. Bringing these new members into our network reduces risk and eliminates handoffs, one of the causes of trip disruptions,” he added.
The addition of these two locations brings Universal Aviation’s network to 29 locations in Latin America and the Caribbean.
