Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the regional air transport sector in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, approaching its development from how air flows are organized in the dynamics of circulation. Therefore, this study starts from the analysis of the main companies that operate in airports with regular flights located in the inland cities of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil, such as the airports in the cities of Dourados, Bonito, Corumbá and Três Lagoas. For this purpose, our base is the performance of airlines at these airports, based on the territorial distribution of flights and the number of passengers in the period from 2016 to 2019. Thus, methodologically, we base ourselves on bibliographical research, analysis of statistical data on airport flows and fixed, in addition to the systematization and elaboration of graphics and maps. In summary, we understand that two factors influence the dynamics of the air sector in the state: political interests and their possible investments in infrastructure, and the second factor is business performance, which organizes the entire territorial ordering of air flows through the constitution of its networks, that is, the territorial distribution of its routes and business strategies.
