Luciano Hang returns to Brusque after a Chilean business swing

Luciano Hang landed his Bombardier Global 6000 (PP-LHG) at Ministro Victor Konder International Airport in Navegantes on June 1, 2026, completing a 2-hour 33-minute flight from Santiago, Chile. The arrival at SBNF, the nearest major airport to his hometown of Brusque, marks the end of a three-day trip that included stops in Porto Alegre and Santiago.

The return to Santa Catarina comes the same week Brazil's central bank is widely expected to hold its benchmark Selic rate at 14.25 percent, per a Reuters survey published Monday, a decision that directly affects consumer credit and retail spending at chains like Havan. Hang, a vocal free-market advocate, has previously criticized high interest rates as a drag on commerce, making the monetary policy committee's June 3-4 meeting a closely watched event for his business interests.

The Santiago leg of the trip, which began with a May 29 flight from Navegantes to Porto Alegre and then on to the Chilean capital on May 30, suggests Hang may have been scouting investment opportunities or meeting with suppliers in South America's most stable retail market. His fleet of private aircraft allows him to maintain this kind of multi-city itinerary while keeping close tabs on Havan's 176-plus megastores across Brazil.
