Ribeirao Preto, Brazil-based aircraft sales and acquisition company VKN Aviation ended July with eight aircraft being imported. Altogether there are seven different models of King Air and an M600 coming from different countries to meet the needs of Brazilian customers.

“With the shortage of used aircraft in the world market, we had to engage in real mining, with the help of our international consultants, to find the aircraft our customers need,” says CEO Alexandre Macedo. The models that will arrive in the country in the coming weeks come from Germany, Mexico, Panama, Switzerland and the US.

In the first six months of the year, VKN Aviation has already brought more than 15 King Air aircraft to Brazil. The same amount was imported last year, so the expectation is to close 2022 with growth of 100 per cent in the volume of transactions carried out.

“The most sought after model is the King Air, and most of our customers are from the agribusiness sector and are looking for mobility. The aircraft is preferred for its ability to land on unpaved runways,” says Alexandre Macedo.

VKN Aviation works with a wide network of potential national and international buyers, sellers and partners, and it has the expertise of a team with technical knowledge of aviation and more than 15 years of experience in the sector. VKN Aviation is run by pilots, executives and aircraft owners.
