What Panair LLC does
Panair LLC is a privately held Florida-registered limited liability company operating as a sales representative and authorized distributor for more than 40 global aerospace manufacturers across Latin America. Founded around 1984 and headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, with a regional office in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, the company serves airlines (LATAM, GOL, Azul, Avianca, Aeromexico, Copa, Volaris, Viva Aerobus), OEMs (Embraer), MROs (Mexicana MRO, Aeroman, ENAER, FADEA, Helibras), defense agencies (Brazilian Navy, Air Forces of Chile, Argentina, and Colombia), and adjacent mobility customers such as Alstom in rail and eMobility. Panair does not develop proprietary technology; its core function is facilitating the sale and local support of partner products including HUMS, electric taxiing systems, composite repair equipment, safety restraints, sensors, lighting, batteries, and pyrotechnic devices.
The company's business model is a B2B representation and distribution model with a sales-led go-to-market, generating revenue through commissions, local sales support, technical consultation, and authorized service work such as the Amsafe Airbag SDT Calibration Service launched in 2024. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to customer requirements, with operations organized across eight market segments: Airlines & MRO, Aviation OEM, Defense & Security, Business Aviation, General Aviation, Agricultural Aviation, Helicopters, and Mobility & Others. Value proposition centers on reducing Total Cost of Ownership for customers by lowering sales and support costs, providing local first-level rapid response, and ensuring regulatory compliance through TCompliance and LGPD-aligned practices.
Panair is led by CEO Alfredo Zina Correia and Associate Luiz Gustavo França Lima (focused on defense), operating with approximately 10 employees and no disclosed external funding. The firm maintains a multilingual digital presence (English, Portuguese, Spanish), participates in industry events such as Farnborough International Airshow, and continues to add new manufacturer principals to its portfolio, with several partnerships added in 2026.
