Tecnam's Latin American Distributor Appoints Alexandre Silva de Morais as Tecnam Sales Director for Brazil to Drive Market Expansion

Brazil – Tecnam, the Italian aircraft manufacturer, and its official South American regional distributor Aerotec have announced the appointment of Alexandre Silva de Morais as Sales Director for Brazil, as the two companies move to accelerate Tecnam's presence in the Brazilian training, private aviation, air taxi, and regional mobility segments.

• Alexandre Silva de Morais brings 20 years of aeronautical sector experience spanning technical, operational, and commercial domains, with his career beginning in 2006 at Compoende Aeronáutica as a Level II Quality Inspector and unit manager focused on maintenance, quality, and safety.
• He subsequently transitioned into aircraft sales, achieving top-seller status in the Brazilian market for Thrush Aircraft with 18 agricultural aircraft commercialised, before moving into the business aviation segment.
• Most recently, as Sales Manager for Brazil at Synerjet — the official Pilatus distributor in Brazil — he managed PC-12 and PC-24 aircraft sales generating over USD 450 million in business between 2020 and 2024.
• His experience further spans the used aircraft market, executive aviation, and fractional ownership models through leadership roles at VKN Aviação, Avantto, and Epic Aircraft.
• As Sales Director, his primary focus areas are Tecnam's growth in pilot training, private aviation, air taxi, regional mobility, and fleet renewal — segments identified by both Aerotec and Tecnam as central to Brazil's aviation market expansion.
• Aerotec currently supports more than 400 Tecnam aircraft operating across South America, with direct presence in Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, and offices across the wider continent.

Statements

• "My trajectory was built connecting people, businesses, and aircraft. Now, my goal is to put all this experience at the service of TECNAM's growth in Brazil. I believe TECNAM has a unique positioning to meet the needs of the Brazilian market, especially in a scenario of regional aviation expansion, agribusiness growth, and the modernization of aviation schools," said Alexandre S. Morais, Sales Director for Brazil at Aerotec.
• "Brazil is a fundamental pillar of our expansion strategy across Latin America. Bringing a professional of Alexandre's caliber into our leadership team demonstrates our absolute commitment to this market. His deep understanding of the Brazilian aviation ecosystem will be crucial as Aerotec continues to consolidate Tecnam's position as the leading choice for operators throughout the region," said Jose Cardama, Director at Aerotec.
• "We are thrilled to welcome Alexandre to the extended Tecnam family. Brazil is a cornerstone of our global strategy, requiring leadership that truly understands the diverse needs of local operators—from flight schools to regional airlines.
