MetLife flies to São Paulo the week it wins a digital insurance award

MetLife flew from Teterboro Airport to São Paulo/Guarulhos on May 17, 2026, a 9-hour, 5-minute trip aboard its Bombardier Global 5000, tail N1868M.

The same week, MetLife was awarded the Prêmio Segurador Brasil in the “Tecnologia e Inovação” category for the second consecutive year, per a May 8 report from Sonho Seguro. The prize recognizes the company’s MetLife Xcelerator unit, which has pushed embedded insurance into digital platforms across Latin America and now holds more than 5 million policies in Brazil alone.

The São Paulo trip follows a pattern: MetLife flew to London on May 8 and returned on May 12, likely for the MetLife Q1 earnings call covered by The Stock Observer on May 11. Brazil is one of four strategic markets under MetLife’s New Frontier plan, with a stated goal of doubling annual revenue to R$8 billion by 2029.
