About ABAG – Associação Brasileira de Aviação Geral

Geographic reach: Brazil, Latin America

Associação Brasileira de Aviação Geral (ABAG) is Brazil’s leading trade association and advocacy body for **general and business aviation**, representing operators, manufacturers, service providers and related companies across the national aviation ecosystem. Founded to strengthen and professionalize the sector, ABAG acts as a bridge between industry, regulators and government, promoting safe, efficient and sustainable growth of non‑airline aviation in Brazil.

ABAG’s core activities include **public policy advocacy**, technical consultation and specialized advisory services in multiple areas of general aviation, from operations and regulation to infrastructure and taxation. It compiles and publishes unique market data and studies covering the Brazilian general aviation fleet, operations and economic impact, providing members and authorities with strategic intelligence to support decisions.

Through its news, research and position papers, ABAG shapes debate on key topics such as airport access, slot allocation, aviation taxation, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and agricultural aviation technology. The association also develops **safety and operational excellence programs**, such as the AVV – “ABAG Valorizando a Vida” – a toolkit designed to enhance the safety of business aviation operations, especially in the private segment.

It actively promotes Safety Management Systems (SMS) and risk‑mitigation culture among operators as a preventive barrier against incidents. On the business development side, ABAG is widely recognized as the organizer of **LABACE – Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition**, Latin America’s premier business aviation show, which connects aircraft manufacturers, OEMs, financiers, maintenance providers, airports and high‑end users from Brazil and abroad.

Through LABACE, institutional campaigns and member services, ABAG provides a high‑value networking and advocacy platform that helps companies navigate Brazil’s regulatory landscape, access decision‑makers and showcase solutions to one of the world’s largest general aviation markets.
