The Air Cargo Market in Brazil: Challenges, Opportunities, and Perspectives
This article (Paragraph No. 10,401), discusses a developing country like Brazil where the economy depends on an intense flow of goods, both domestically and internationally. Brazil's transportation system is essential for all forms of development, given the country's near-continental dimensions. In addition, air transportation, with its countless advantages over other forms of transport, is critical to Brazil's participation in international markets. Despite the fact that air cargo in Brazil remains dominated by foreign airlines and suffers dramatically with the national economy's oscillations, this segment receives significant investment from many organizations - not only airlines - confirming its potential for growth. The authors present a general overview of the air cargo segment in Brazil, with emphasis on the international market. Through a discussion of the country's major international partners in foreign commerce, the paper will identify some of the air cargo industry's challenges and opportunities, primarily regarding Brazilian air carriers. The authors also analyze the main characteristics of the air cargo segment, its relationship with international trade, its influence over the economy, and vice-versa.
