📋 Tender Overview
The number of air transport passengers in the country is expected to close the year with a record of 130 million people, surpassing pre-pandemic figures for the first time. The forecast is from the Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor), based on the Demand and Supply Report from the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac), updated this Monday (22) with data recorded until November.
Air transport handled more than 117 million passengers between January and November, a number 9.3% higher than that recorded in the same period in 2024. The number of seats sold on domestic flights (91.9 million) grew 8% over last years figures. The increase was even greater (13.6%) in the number of passengers on international flights, which reached 25.8 million by November.
This growth is a reflection of Brazils economy, of the Lula Governments public policies that promote the countrys socioeconomic development. In three years, we had 30 million more passengers in air transport. This is twice the annual movement of Brasilia International Airport, stated Minister Silvio Costa Filho, of Ports and Airports.

The increase in international numbers, according to the minister, also reflects the countrys growing protagonism in the global debate. Brazil returned to the world scene with President Lula. We resumed dialogue with several countries, reinforcing our economic and tourist potential, said Costa Filho, remembering that the number of international passengers today represents 22% of total movement.
The countries with the highest passenger movement with Brazil in 2025 were: Argentina (4.3 million), United States (4.2 million), Chile (3.1 million) and Portugal (2.6 million). Around 29% of international flights pass through Guarulhos (14.9 million passengers, considering origin and destination) and 10% through Galeao (5 million). Florianopolis (with 1 million passengers), Campinas (990 thousand) and Brasilia (790 thousand) complete the group of the five busiest international airports in the country.
For domestic flights, the list of busiest airports (considering passengers originating or arriving at these airports) are: Guarulhos (27 million), Congonhas (21.8 million), Brasilia (14 million), Confins (11 million) and Galeao (10.7 million).
