Universal Aviation, the FBO ground services division of Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc., recently announced that it has expanded its presence in the Latin America and Caribbean market with two new Universal Aviation Certified member locations in Guatemala City, Guatemala (MGGT) and Luque, Paraguay (SGAS).
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. However, the 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.”
The new Universal Aviation Certified members include:
- Air Station S.A. at La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Air Station has a 20-year track record of success and can expedite passengers and crew in and out of the airport in 15-20 minutes for international flights.
- Consorcio Aviation SRL at Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi (SGAS) located in Asuncion, Paraguay. Consorcia Aviation has more than 30 years of ground operations experience and supports all types of missions and aircraft, including wide-body, cargo, and medical.
