Universal expands Latin America & Caribbean footprint

Handling Talk
Universal Aviation is expanding 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).

The addition of Guatemala, and Paraguay expands the Universal Aviation network to 29 locations in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“Business aviation traffic to Latin America and the Caribbean continues to remain strong in most destinations, exceeding pre-pandemic levels,” said Adolfo Aragon, Sr. Vice President, Universal Aviation. “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 and Consorcio Aviation SRL at Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi (SGAS) located in Asuncion, Paraguay.

As a Universal Aviation Certified member, these locations have proven their commitment to service excellence by agreeing to Universal’s rigorous standards for ground handling quality, training, safety, consistency, customer service, and regulatory compliance.
