Brazil has established itself as the world’s second-largest business aviation market, following a record-breaking year in 2025 that saw approximately 130 million passengers. The sector, which currently maintains a fleet of roughly 1,200 private jets, is driving increased demand for maintenance, repair, and overhaul services, though it faces hurdles such as infrastructure gaps and a shortage of qualified technicians and pilots. Discussions regarding Brazil’s business landscape have also highlighted the intersection of traditional services and emerging technologies. At the LIDE Business Forum, industry leaders addressed economic challenges like tax burdens and interest rates, while also noting the potential synergy between current transport models and the development of autonomous flying vehicles in urban mobility. Recent developments at the 25th LIDE Business Forum and other leadership summits indicate a complex economic environment. While Uber noted that Brazil remains its largest market by trip volume, industrial sentiment remains cautious; a National Confederation of Industry (CNI) survey found that 25 of 29 surveyed sectors report pessimism, a trend persisting for 20 consecutive months. Although the automotive industry has shown resilience with 11% growth in sales due to credit availability, other sectors face exhaustion from global tensions and fiscal adjustments. Artificial intelligence has emerged as a central pillar of corporate strategy. Upcoming events, such as the Cortex Summit in São Paulo, will focus on ‘Augmented Organizations’ where human talent and AI agents work in synergy. Leadership forums like C-Level RS and the EBB Marathon are similarly prioritizing digital transformation and human-centric management to drive productivity.
