A desregulação do setor de aviação civil no Brasil

Abstract

Economic deregulation of the civil aviation sector in Brazil is a necessary process for improving the country's competitive environment with direct effects on fare prices, level of competition and the country's economic growth. The article presents a quantitative analysis based on in the indications related to the main regulatory changes in the sector, as number of passengers, average air fare and transported cargo volume, such as the law that creates the ANAC, changes in checked baggage collection observing trends prior to deregulation and evaluating subsequent data in order to visualize changes in the trend in the sector. It permeates the theoretical character that surrounds the process of economic deregulation based on theoretical analyzes, compares the models of deregulation experienced by other countries in the world, especially those adopted by the United States. The results show that the deregulation activity in the sector had significant impacts on the reduction of airfares prices, increase in the number of passengers on interstate trips, as well as the changes in the rules of airline tickets allowed airlines to discriminate prices of airlines tariffs free of charge to the consumer. The article also concludes that an individual regulatory change has no significant effect, as in the case of airport slots and that the main obstacles surround new entry barriers.
