Latin America and the Caribbean’s commercial aviation sector is poised for one of its most dynamic growth phases in decades. Passenger traffic is forecast to exceed 746 million journeys in 2025,  surpassing pre-2019 volumes. This surge is unlocking opportunities for airlines to rethink their networks, modernise fleets and meet rapidly evolving passenger expectations.

For many smaller and mid-sized carriers, the shift marks a turning point. Years of operating with ageing fleets and limited capacity are giving way to fresh strategies and aircraft acquisitions. Across the region, operators are seizing the chance to strengthen connectivity, from linking island nations to major hubs, to opening new routes in hard-to-reach markets.

Anna Gulbas, Jetcraft, Sales Director – EMEA
Location: Poland

Describe a typical day or week in your role.

Statistically, the average day for me consists of emails, phone calls and meetings. But sometimes it’s much more exciting when we have aircraft viewings or we meet customer for negotiations.

Tell us what you enjoy most about your role.

I enjoy my customers. There are no two deals which are the same, no two sister transaction. Each deal, each transaction, each product is completely different. Customers are different, and we are never bored.

Describe what you are most proud of in your professional journey.

I’m most proud of the deal that I did for Polish government, which was a very long process. It was a public procurement, so the requirements were very complex, and I managed to win to the tender for the company, and we were able to sell the aircraft to the Polish government.

For decades, the pre-owned business aviation market has run on relationships, experience and reputation. And while those foundations still matter, the industry has significantly changed.

The pace of today’s operations leaves little room for guesswork. Aircraft values shift quickly, opportunities move fast and buyers expect more, from transparency to turnaround times. That’s why real-time intelligence is essential.

At Jetcraft, data helps us see what’s changing, what’s driving it and how to act – all before others do.

Seeing data as a strategic advantage

The best advisors have a feel for timing. They know when to buy, when to wait and when to sell. But instinct alone is no longer enough. Today, timing decisions are supported by forecasting models that draw from global sales data, inventory trends and shifting demographics, meaning we spot demand as it builds, not after it peaks.
