Benefitting
from a
favourable economic
climate, Brasilia Airport
is Brazil’s fourth largest
facility according to 2013
passenger data. The
airport is located 11
kilometres from central
Brasilia, serving the
country’s federal capital,
which has an estimated
population of 2.8 million.
Behind Sao Paulo
Congonhas, Rio de
Janeiro Galeao and Sao
Paulo Guarulhos, Brasilia
has become increasingly
attractive for the network
planning community,
with Aerolineas
Argentinas starting
services in the last year.
Passenger traffic at
Brasilia has increased by
77% between 2005 and
2013. A total of 9.3 million
passengers used the
airport nine years ago, a
number that increased
to over 16 million last
year — a new record
high. In fact, the airport
has grown consistently
since 2005, with the
exception of 2008, when
a modest decrease of 6.1%
was noted. International
traffic has outperformed
the domestic sector
in terms of growth,
increasing by 1,600% over
this period, with half a
million international
passengers travelling
through Brasilia in 2013.

TAM and GOl
dominate
While 10 different
carriers operate from
Brasilia, 82% of weekly
seats are commanded by
only two airlines. TAM
Airlines is Brasilia’s #1
operator, controlling 43%
and 39% of weekly seats
and flights respectively.
TAM operates 30 routes
from the airport, but
only one is international,
namely to Miami. GOL,
the Brazilian LCC, is the
second player at Brasilia
according to weekly
seat capacity, not far
behind TAM, serving 27
domestic destinations.
Weekly seat capacity
has increased by
10%, with six out
of the 10 airlines
recording growth,
when comparing data
from this February
with the same week
last year. The stand
out performance
comes from domestic
LCC Azul Airlines,
which has recorded
85% growth in the last
year, while Passaredo
Airlines has noted
a decline of 30% in
weekly capacity, due
to dropping its daily
flights to Araguaina
and Sao Jose do
Rio Preto.
