Brazil: Flying Into the Future

From the article (my emphasis added): "Brazil boasts the world’s second largest general aviation fleet behind the United States: as of 2011 it had 13,094 planes, according to ABAG figures. Of those, 25% are based in the economic powerhouse state of Sao Paulo. The country has 1,650 corporate jets, used by those who can afford to escape the urban traffic chaos."
