    Brazil, with the fifth largest territorial extension on the planet, totaling 8,514,876 km², is behind only Russia, Canada, the United States and China. The country considers the air taxi service as a dynamic and efficient logistical solution for traveling between its districts. In this scenario, the executive aviation industry emerges as a protagonist, and Flapper consolidates itself as the main marketplace in the country. By matching passengers’ flight needs with the ideal aircraft for each mission, Flapper provides a meticulously planned experience, redefining mobility in a country of continental dimensions.

    North region

    The Northern region of Brazil, characterized by its vast extension and geographic diversity, is home to important urban centers, such as Manaus , Belém , Santarém, Porto Velho, Boa Vista, Macapá and Rio Branco. Manaus stands out as an industrial hub in the Amazon, while Belém is known for its rich cultural heritage. The region is home to diverse ecosystems, such as the Amazon Rainforest, and is marked by a unique cultural richness, with indigenous and traditional influences. These cities play fundamental roles in economic and cultural development, contributing to the uniqueness and vitality of the Brazilian North region.

    In this region, there are 434 aerodromes, 122 of which are paved and the rest have unpaved runways. This scenario promotes a significant presence of piston and turboprop aircraft, adapted for landing on unpaved runways . A fascinating feature of this location is the presence of several amphibious aircraft, capable of landing on rivers and parking in ports and marinas in the region.
