Melbourne, FL. /18 November 2024 – Satcom Direct is expanding its footprint in Latin America with the confirmation of Líder Aviação, a dedicated business aviation service provider in Brazil, as a new SD products and services dealer for the region. SD and Líder Aviação support several mutual customers, which contributed to confirming the aviation business as the latest dealer in the global SD dealer network.
The relationship has already yielded results, with Líder becoming the first Brazilian MRO to facilitate the first installation of an SD Plane Simple® Ku-band terminal on a Bombardier Global 6000 business jet in Brazil/South America Líder Aviação showcased the benefits of the advanced connectivity solution to a mutual SD customer. With the aircraft regularly flying ultra-long international routes, the operator needed a reliable global connectivity solution that could support productivity, relaxation, and entertainment. The flexibility of the Intelsat FlexExec plan, easy accessibility to 24/7/365 customer support, consistent connectivity speeds, and a streamlined activation process all influenced.
“Adding Líder Aviação to the SD family is good for us, them, and, most importantly, for aircraft operators in Brazil and across South America. We are seeing growth in business aviation activity in South America. This is underpinned by forward-looking industry forecasts highlighting increased interest in acquisitions and movements. The topography and size of South America make consistent connectivity a must, and our customers are hungry for connectivity solutions. Adding Líder Aviação to the SD Dealer Network will support delivering our exciting new range of products, services and capabilities to this burgeoning area,” says Ewerton Libanio, Managing Direct for Satcom Direct Brazil.
Lider Aviation offers aircraft maintenance, management and charter services, aircraft sales, and other specialized services. SD will introduce and train the Líder Aviação team on the complete SD eco-system and service offering and, as required, will be on-site to assist with each installation.
“At Líder Aviação, we deliver solutions. We provide a wide range of technical support to keep aircraft operators connected, and we also pride ourselves on forming partnerships that answer a need. As an authorized SD dealer, South American operators now have easier access to the diverse range of SD products delivered by a service provider they know and trust. It’s a win for all involved,” said Thiago Guimaraes Damasceno – Commercial Director – Maintenance Business Unit.
