Havan offers 300+ helicopter rides for Brusque's 166th anniversary

Retail chain Havan organized 60 helicopter flights on Tuesday, April 4, to celebrate the 166th anniversary of Brusque, Santa Catarina. More than 300 residents and visitors took the rides, including 76‑year‑old Valdemar Hessmann of Ituporanga, who flew with his daughter‑in‑law Claudioneia Hasckel, and the senior couple Luiz Carlos and Maria de Lourdes de Limas, aged 74 and 67, both experiencing their first helicopter trip. Participants praised the city’s view, with Hessmann saying, “Brusque is beautiful from above.” Havan founder Luciano Hang said the event reinforces the company’s long‑standing bond with the city, noting that such celebrations have been part of Havan’s history for over a decade and aim to fulfill dreams of people who have never flown before.
