TAM Aviacao Executiva has received international recognition for the fourth time after being named the world’s leading representative for sales of Textron turboprop and Citation jets based on its 2025 performance. The award was presented on 3 February in Panama during an event hosted by Textron Aviation.

Brazil’s executive aircraft sales segment continues to expand, underlining the country’s growing relevance and the importance of long-term strategic partnerships. The relationship between TAM Aviacao Executiva and Textron Aviation began in 1982 with the representation of Cessna aircraft and has now spanned more than four decades. Over the past 10 years the portfolio has expanded to include representation of Beechcraft family aircraft.

TAM Aviacao Executiva has continued to invest in innovation, safety and comfort across its operations. In sales it has built the largest commercial team in Brazil’s executive aviation sector. Investment has also continued in services and infrastructure, including a modern paint booth and design centre at its Jundiaí service centre as well as new VIP lounges for pilots and clients at its FBO facility at São Paulo Congonhas Airport.

Leonardo Fiuza, president of TAM Aviacao Executiva, says “Receiving this recognition for the fourth consecutive time reinforces the consistency of the work that TAM Aviacao Executiva has been building over the years. It reflects the trust of our clients, the dedication of our team and a solid long-term partnership with Textron Aviation. We remain focused on offering solutions aligned with the operational needs of the Brazilian market with high standards of service, safety and a vision for the future.”
