Passenger Movement at Airports Grows 2.0% in the Latest Period

Notícias Portugal15 September 2026 at 10:41

In July 2026, Brazilian airports recorded significant movement, totaling 7.7 million passengers and 23.8 thousand tons of cargo and mail. This result represents a growth of 2.0% in the number of passengers and 4.4% in cargo and mail movement compared to the same period of the previous year. In the previous month, these indices had shown a slight decline of 0.2% and a growth of 3.4%, respectively.

In the analyzed month, the average disembarkation was 128.5 thousand passengers per day, representing an increase of 2.0% compared to July 2025. Year-to-date, between January and July 2026, growth was 2.4% in total passengers and 1.0% in cargo and mail movement, contrasting with the stronger increases recorded in the same period of 2025, which were 4.9% and 2.6%.

The United Kingdom stood out as the main country of origin and destination for passenger flights in the period, followed by France, Spain, Germany, and Italy, which maintained their positions among the top five countries. The data was released by the National Statistics Institute.

Why this matters

The sustained growth of 2.0% in passenger movement and 4.4% in air cargo indicates a continuous recovery of the aviation sector in Brazil, which may reflect improvements in connectivity and the national economy. Passengers, logistics companies, and the tourism sector can benefit directly from this growth, which signals greater demand for air services.
