Aviation Business Consultants International (ABCI) has been selected to promote the second annual Aero Expo Panama Pacifico, which will be held at Panama City Pacifico International Airport on April 20 and 21. "The Latin American market has been growing by leaps and bounds," said ABCI president Paula Williams, adding that the business aviation expo “is a proven concept and in a great location.”

Despite the lack of a coordinated marketing effort last year, the event still attracted several major industry exhibitors and sponsors, including Dassault Falcon, Embraer Executive Jets, Pilatus Aircraft, Textron Aviation, Million Air and Rockwell Collins. “That just proves the market is ready, the location is ideal and we're…planning for some impressive growth at the 2017 event,” said Williams.

Last year's event included six aircraft on display, 25 exhibitors, worldwide and local FBOs, fuel providers and an MRO. Attendees included more than 500 visitors from 15 countries. Exhibitor registration for the event will be open in about two weeks, according to ABCI.
