Aircraft broker Jetcraft has expanded its operations with the opening of a sales office in Mexico City that will serve as its Latin American hub. “We are excited to open an office in Mexico and are seeing great demand for private aircraft in the country,” said Jetcraft president Chad Anderson. “The region as a whole is very open to business aviation and the long term prospects for growth across Latin America are extremely positive.” 
  
The office is located on Avenida Presidente Masaryk in an upscale district of the Mexican capital. Mexico saw fleet growth of nearly 5 percent last year and recent estimates put the age of 80 percent of Mexico’s business jets at more than 10 years old, indicating a growing need for newer replacement aircraft.
