Vale S.A. is a Brazilian multinational mining corporation headquartered in Rio de Janeiro and one of the largest mining companies in the world. The company historically operated a substantial corporate fleet, which peaked at eight aircraft in 2012. Vale has been gradually downsizing its aviation operations; it sold its Embraer E190 in 2023 and its Bombardier Global Express XRS (PP-VDR) in early 2025. The Global Express XRS had operated from Belo Horizonte/Pampulha Airport (SBBH) since 2009, flying executives to the company's mining operations in Carajás (SBCJ), Rio de Janeiro, and international destinations including Canada and Africa. Following the sale, Vale acquired a smaller Embraer Praetor 500 and retained one King Air B300 along with five helicopters. The decision to downsize reflects cost optimization efforts, with executives now also traveling on commercial airlines. Vale's mining operations span Brazil's Iron Quadrangle near Belo Horizonte, the Carajás mineral province in Pará, the Serra Sul complex, and the Voisey's Bay nickel mine in Canada.
