Paraguay’s Royal FBO is the first Paraguayan company to exhibit at LABACE and one of the rare exhibitors from outside Brazil. The company provides “more personalized” handling services, according to dispatch team members Angélica Segovia and Esteban Insaurralde, who are representing the FBO at the show.

Royal, based at Silvio Petirossi International Airport in Luque, Paraguay, provides FBO and handling services in the southern cone of South America, but extends its handling service all over the world. Royal recently handled all the arrangements for a client’s trip to Africa, Segovia said.

Describing what makes Royal different, she said, “We know all the customers, and when you call, you will always deal with the same person for every operation. You won’t have a chain of five e-mails each answered by a different person, not knowing who’s responsible.”

Segovia said that Royal’s client portfolio includes clients from Bolivia and Peru and it provides general aviation services to the air forces of both those countries, including making arrangements for international trips by both countries’ presidents.

Royal also provides aircraft management services, and the first LABACE appearance is proof of Segovia’s affirmation that the company is “starting to grow.”
