📋 Tender Overview
Between January and July 2025, the Southeast airports carried 71.9 million passengers, a number that represents a growth of almost 10% over the same period last year, when the total was 65.5 million. The data are included in the Demand and Offer Report of the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac).
.
The Galeao International Airport (RJ) was the highlight of the period, with an increase of over 25% and 9.7 million passengers moved, a data that consolidates the resumption of operations in the terminal. Also in strong rise, Congonhas Airport (SP) transported 14.6 million people, growth of 13.6%. In Minas Gerais, the Confins International Airport registered 7.3 million passengers, an advance of 13.3%.
In the lead in absolute numbers, the two largest hubs in the region kept solid performance: Guarulhos (SP) follows as the main airport of the country, with 26.2 million passengers (+7.9%), while Viracopos/Campinas (SP) moved 7.3 million (+7.8%). Among the regional terminals, they caught the attention of Sao Jose do Rio Preto (SP), with a jump of 21.9%, and Vitoria (ES), up 11.7%.
For the National Secretary of Civil Aviation, Daniel Longo, this advance is due to the warming of the Brazilian economy. We evaluated the increase in the movement of air terminals as a reflection of the good moment of national economic activity. In the Southeast, which has strong participation in GDP, the increase in the number of passengers carried is a sign that tourism is active and that there is opening opportunities in other productive sectors in the four states of the region, he says.
In July alone, Southeast airports totaled 11.3 million passengers, a 6.8% growth compared to the same month of 2024. Galleon led performance in performance, with 20.8% expansion in the period, followed by victory (+13.8%) and Sao Jose do Rio Preto (+17.6%).
Still for the long, the results reinforce the importance of aviation in the Southeast, responsible for the largest slice of national air movement. Growth in large hubs, added to the consistent advance of regional terminals, points to a solid recovery scenario and aerial mesh diversification in the region.
