Fleet Evolution Forecast - Latin America Fleet, Deliveries, Retirements; 2010-2030

The economy of the region has traditionally been driven by exports of manufactured goods, agricultural products and natural resources, such as oil and minerals. Tourism is also an important driver, notably for Mexico and the Caribbean. According to Forbes, Latin America experi- enced a jump in its number of billionaires, going from 36 in 2009 to 53 in 2010. Mexico ranks above Brazil and Argentina in sales of luxury brands in Latin America and is the home of the world's wealthiest individual in 2011: Carlos Slim Helu. According to IHS Global Insight, in 2011, Latin America’s growth is predicted to be at 4.6%. Over the 20-year forecast period, the Latin American economy is forecast to grow, on average, by 4.3% per year. Business aviation has a long and well-estab- lished presence in Latin America, particularly in Mexico and Brazil. The success of business aviation in the region is partly due to the poor scheduled airline service in the area. Latin America shows a noticeably high proportion of business jets in the Light category. In late 2010, the region had one of the oldest busi- ness jet fleets in the world, with an average age of 18.5 years (versus 15.7 years world- wide). As a result, the region should account for a significant amount of replacements.
