Estimates show that there are approximately 200 aircraft available for general aviation in Argentina, which positions them as the third largest executive aviation market in Latin America. When it comes to jets, there are about 70 of them, a number assignificant as that of Brazil, despite the smaller size and concentration of the air taxi operation in Buenos Aires.
To give an estimate of the country, for example, 44% of flights are commercial and 8% state and military. That is, about 48% of the air movement in Argentina is mainly private and chartered airplanes and helicopters.
A novelty of the executive aviation market in Buenos Aires and Argentina, in general, is the presence of Flapper, which has even increased the offers of vacías or tramos vacíos, the famous empty legs, repositioning trips that aremarketed at cheaper prices, expanding access to executive aviation for more people.
