Latin America & Caribbean region has the 3rd highest number of large private jets

MIAMI, U.S.A., 04 June 2025 – Analysis¹ of industry data by Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) reveals that Latin America and the Caribbean has 7% of the world’s fleet of large private jets, following the U.S. and Europe, which account for 60% and 13% respectively.  There are 657 large, long range private jets registered in the Latin American and Caribbean region, and 10,001 globally. 

The analysis also reveals that there are around 169 pre-owned private jets overall for sale in  Latin America and the Caribbean, which represents approximately 5.7% of the region’s  fleet.

The largest category of pre-owned private jets for sale in Latin America and the Caribbean are light jets, where 68 are available to buy. This is followed by midsize jets where 51 jets are on the market, followed by 45 larger /ultra-long-range aircraft and 5 very light jets.

In terms of which countries in the Latin America and Caribbean region have the largest fleets of large private jets, Mexico has the most with 249, followed by Brazil (217), Argentina (35), Venezuela (24) and Puerto Rico (20). Mexico has 7.6% of its large jet fleet for sale, while Brazil has 6%.

“Latin America continues to be a powerful player in global business aviation,” says Chadi Saade, President, ACJ. 

“Brazil has the second largest business jet fleet in the world after the U.S., and the LATAM region accounts for 7% of the global large private jet fleet – a clear reflection of growing demand or long-range, high-performance aircraft.”

Saade continues, “As more private jet owners in Latin America look to sell their aircraft and upgrade to larger more efficient jets, ACJ stands out with exceptional comfort, performance and long-term value. Our ACJ TwoTwenty is purpose-built for buyers seeking both economic and operational excellence in the large jet category.” 

ACJ offers a range of large business aircraft. The recently launched ACJ TwoTwenty is carving out a whole new market segment – ‘The Xtra Large Bizjet’.

The ACJ TwoTwenty offers twice the cabin real estate compared to similarly priced ULR business jets with market-leading fuel efficiency and unrivaled reliability. It occupies the same parking footprint as competitive ULR jets and can take off from the same airports, but the ACJ TwoTwenty operating costs are one-third less.

With a range of up to 5,650 nm (more than 12 flight hours), the ACJ TwoTwenty can meet the requirements of 99.9% of all U.S. departures,² connecting city pairs including Los Angeles to London, Miami to Buenos Aires, and New York to Sao Paulo.

As with all ACJ aircraft, the ACJ TwoTwenty is capable of flying with up to a 50% blend of kerosene and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) while keeping to the technical specifications of Jet A. All Airbus commercial aircraft and helicopters will be capable of operating with 100% SAF by 2030. This capability will play an important role in the sector’s decarbonization journey.

Over 200 Airbus corporate jets are in service worldwide.
