The LATAM fixed-base operator market was valued at US$ 1,067.72 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 1,385.21 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 3.8% from 2021 to 2028.
The overall LATAM fixed-base operator market is witnessing slow growth compared to other regions such as North America and Europe, majorly due to few countries still trying to catch up with the service levels that are far from standardized. The general aviation sector in LATAM is expected to rise during the forecast period, demanding the FBO service providers to offer enhanced services to travelers. Moreover, the operational cost of FBOs is high in the developing countries in the current scenario. This is because the number of FBOs is comparatively less in the developing countries of LATAM. The operational cost involves maintenance of proper service infrastructure, rents of premises, and staffing.
Further, many initiatives are taken in the region, propelling the demand for FBOs across Latin America. For instance, the LATIN America FBO forum was held from December 7 to December 9, 2021. Such initiatives are anticipated to propel the demand for FBOs. Thus, a slow but promising increase in the number of FBOs in LATAM is emerging as one of the significant opportunities for fixed-base operator market growth.
Owing to the COVID-19 outbreak, LATAM experienced a significant decline in production volumes from the aviation industry. There is a lack of aircraft parking and general aviation (GA) infrastructure throughout the LATAM region. However, with the formation of local flight departments in the region, the fixed-base operator market will strengthen and encourage improvement in infrastructure and general aviation services. Further, the region is experiencing a decline in travel and tourism-related activities, owing to the containment measures imposed by governments, ultimately hindering the adoption of fixed-base operators services. Also, the discontinuation of fixed-base operator projects in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Chile, among other Latin American countries, and disruption in the supply chain of the aviation industry in the region are affecting the market growth. For instance, the manufacturing sector in countries such as Brazil and Argentina is experiencing low production, thereby indirectly impacting the business aviation sector of the market. All such factors impacted the fixed-base operator market growth in the LATAM region. However, countries in the region are likely to overcome the COVID situation once the economic activities are back on track, especially between 2021 and 2022.
The LATAM fixed-base operator market size is divided into services offered, application, and geography. Based on services offered, the LATAM fixed-base operator market is segmented into hangaring, fueling, flight instruction, aircraft maintenance, and aircraft rental. In terms of application, the LATAM fixed-base operator market is segmented into business aviation and leisure aviation. Geographically, the LATAM fixed-base operator market is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and the Rest of LATAM.

The aforementioned elements aid in determining the country's overall market's growth potential.
- 3.3 Company Profile:
The “Table of Contents” is formulated by listing and analyzing more than 25 - 30 companies operating in the market ecosystem across geographies. However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
