Southern Cross AIrcraft has hired aircraft sales member Denise Alonso. With more than 16 years of combined aircraft sales experience, she will represent Southern Cross in Brazil.

Alonso began her career in executive aviation through air charter and fractional ownership. During this time, she represented Brazilian buyers in Brazil, importing over 30 aircraft and helicopters using her local knowledge and expertise in international commerce.

In 2017 she worked for Textron as financial director for Southern Cone. She also joined forces with Airport Real State in Sao Paulo, and in her first year was responsible for selling more than $18m.

Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Southern Cross AIrcraft is a fully capitalised broker, with the ability to purchase aircraft, facilitate trade-ins and organise creative solutions to non-standard situations. Denise will be responsible for pre-owned aircraft sales in Brazil, providing clients with excellent service in acquisitions, sales and trade-ins.

“Southern Cross is a wonderful company. In the past I have had opportunities to conduct important deals with it representing Brazilian customers, where we were mutually impressed with each other's efficiency and trust. I am proud to be part of this great team. I am confident we will offer a distinguished, high level service to our current and future clients in Brazil,” she says.
