Avionics Services will present its latest aircraft modernization and certification solutions at Farnborough 2026. The company aims to expand its international presence and highlight Brazilian engineering expertise.
Brazil's Avionics Services is set to present a comprehensive range of aircraft modernization and engineering solutions at the Farnborough International Airshow 2026, taking place from July 20 to 24 in the United Kingdom. The event, recognized as one of the world's leading aerospace gatherings, will bring together over 1,400 exhibitors and 400 delegations, with more than 100,000 visitors expected. This year, Farnborough is placing a stronger emphasis on innovation and international collaboration, offering expanded opportunities for companies, governments, and technology centers to connect.
Avionics Services will be a key participant in the Pavilhão Brasil, where it plans to highlight its extensive experience in engineering projects and certification processes carried out with major aviation authorities, including the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil do Brasil (ANAC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The company's portfolio covers a wide spectrum: from avionics retrofits and embedded systems integration to in-flight connectivity, structural modifications, and the development of electronic equipment for both civil and military applications.
According to João Vernini, president of Avionics Services, Farnborough offers a unique platform to engage with manufacturers, operators, regulators, and technology firms from around the globe. He sees the event as a strategic opportunity to strengthen the company's international footprint, forge new partnerships, and demonstrate the capabilities of Brazilian aerospace engineering.
Among the projects to be showcased are advanced cockpit and avionics modernization programs, in-flight connectivity solutions such as Gogo Galileo HDX, flight simulators, and interior upgrades developed by the Aircraft Interiors Center. The company will also present its engineering and certification services, which have resulted in more than 600 certification processes with ANAC—reportedly the highest number among Brazilian firms in the sector.
Avionics Services' product lineup includes over 70 items designed for aviation use, such as LED lighting systems, onboard electronic devices, converters, inverters, and safety systems. All products are developed in compliance with DO-160, DO-178, and DO-254 standards and undergo testing at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE). The company is also active in integrating EFIS, FMS, TCAS, Egpws, CVR, and GPS systems, as well as satellite communications, onboard entertainment, and interior modernization programs for both civil and military aircraft.
A highlight of the company's Farnborough presentation will be the Caçador II, a class 4 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for both civil and military missions. The system is intended for environmental and border monitoring, critical infrastructure protection, firefighting, search and rescue, detection of illicit activities, and support for public security operations.
The participation at Farnborough is part of Avionics Services' broader internationalization strategy, which includes ongoing projects with major manufacturers such as Embraer and Airbus. The company, headquartered in São Paulo and operating for three decades, holds certifications including RBAC 145, EASA Part-145, ISO 9001, and AS9100D, and is recognized by Brazil's Ministry of Defense as a Strategic Defense Company (EED).
Farnborough's focus on innovation and cross-border cooperation mirrors broader trends in the aerospace sector, where technology transfer and international partnerships are increasingly vital. This approach is also seen in other industries, as highlighted by recent diplomatic and business efforts between Spain and Algeria to secure energy supplies and strengthen bilateral ties—an example detailed in coverage of Spain's negotiations for gas agreements with Algeria.
Brazil's growing presence at major international airshows reflects the country's ambition to position itself as a key player in global aerospace innovation. For Spain and other European nations, the emergence of new suppliers and engineering partners from Latin America could open up fresh opportunities for collaboration, technology exchange, and market diversification in the coming years.
