Airlines in Brazil will demonstrate robust recovery in 2026, outpacing both the regional context and national economic growth. The environment is characterised by pronounced income disparities and price sensitivity, driving operators to adopt sophisticated fare structures and flexible payment solutions that extend accessibility without sacrificing profitability. Intense competition and consolidation among the leading airlines have resulted in a highly concentrated landscape, with operational discipline and product innovation as key differentiators. Structural changes such as the introduction of a new tax regime and the maturation of post-pandemic recovery have prompted a shift from aggressive expansion to yield-focused growth, making this an attractive market for brands that can balance affordability and commercial efficiency. Brands seeking success must prioritise modular product offerings, payment flexibility, and emotional engagement with travellers, while closely managing costs and advocating for regulatory stability to mitigate rising tax burdens.

Airlines
Airlines covers sales made to country residents (outbound and domestic tourists) and excludes sales to incoming tourists. Please note that airlines sales made to country residents when they are travelling abroad or through foreign websites or apps are also included and will be considered under the country of residence. The total amount paid for a flight after taxes and other charges is included. The return flight leg is included as well as the total amount paid for a flight ticket. Value sales exclude all forms of transit. Euromonitor International considers airline capacity and passengers carried in terms of enplanement based on scheduled flights. A passenger whose flight stops mid-route to pick up more passengers but continues with the same aircraft/flight number would be counted as one enplanement. A passenger who switches flights to another airline or aircraft with a new flight number mid-journey would be considered as two enplanements. Enplanements are not the same as number of seats sold or seat bookings, as the latter both include all bookings and do not exclude no-shows and cancellations. Direct transit passengers are excluded, eg those who continue on the same flight. Other transit passengers are included where passengers change plane with a new flight number. Air passengers carried relate directly to air value sales, where domestic and outbound travellers are only included. As such value and volume data in both sizes and shares is aligned and exclude the inbound component.
