  This book, written in Portuguese, presents a comprehensive analysis of the
air transport industry in Brazil, highlighting its vital importance to the
country's economy. It explores the sector's complexity, from economic
characteristics to interaction with the national aeronautical industry, through
the specialization of the workforce and market demand analysis. The book delves
into the economic regulation of air transport, tracing the evolution from
periods of strict regulation to phases of liberalization and deregulation, and
examines market dynamics, focusing on concentration and competitiveness. It
also analyzes demand and supply through case studies, investigating everything
from tourists traveling within Brazil to the coverage of the national territory
and the prices of air tickets. Finally, the book proposes principles for the
regulation and public policies of the air sector, emphasizing the priority of
the passenger, the business environment, access to air transport, and economic
efficiency, culminating in the advocacy for a free market, but with protection
for competition and the consumer.
