📋 Tender Overview
Passenger movement at airports in the Central-West region registered growth of 6% in September 2025 compared to the same period of the previous year, totaling 2.08 million boardings and arrivals. The result was mainly driven by the performance of the Brasilia and Goiania terminals, which accounted for around 80% of the total flow of travelers in the period.
From January to September, the regions airports handled 20.7 million passengers, keeping aviation in the Central-West among the most relevant in the country. Brasilia International Airport accounted for 63.5% of the total, with 13.8 million boardings and arrivals in the period, followed by Goiania (2.86 million), Cuiaba (1.86 million) and Campo Grande (1.17 million).
According to the Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho, the result reinforces the potential for balanced growth of the airline sector throughout the national territory. We are strengthening regional aviation and ensuring more connectivity to the country, with investments in infrastructure and modernization of airports, in partnership with states, concessionaires and the private sector, he highlighted.
The performance also confirms the regions strategic role in national air connectivity. Brasilia Airport remains the main hub for the integration of domestic flights and the largest international airport outside the Rio-Sao Paulo axis, with 658,800 passengers on international flights until September, a number that puts it ahead of all other terminals outside the Southeast.
In comparison with the large airports in the Southeast region, Brasilia handled around 4% of the total international passengers of Guarulhos and Galeao combined, which together registered almost 17 million travelers until September. This means that, for every 100 international passengers that pass through Guarulhos and Galeao, 4 pass through Brasilia, a proportion that reinforces the terminals role as the main international hub outside the Rio-Sao Paulo axis and a connection point for other regions of the country.
