Transporte de cargas na aviação civil brasileira

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the niche of the cargo market in Brazil and the participation of the use of airways for this purpose, showing how the first needs to use this medium arose, as well as its fundamental importance for the development of certain regions, in addition to addressing some aspects and indicators that represent the current situation of transport by aircraft showing advantages and disadvantages for users of this system. With a view that envisions the best use of the national air network, employing it on a larger scale promoting activity in Brazil, thus culminating in the opening of more jobs in this area, both for pilots and for shippers and dispatchers. In addition to presenting a solution that is viable in the short term, given the current Brazilian infrastructure, mainly in road and rail transport, which have a deficient and already saturated network. For example, the road infrastructure that requires extensive investments in the construction and maintenance of roads, which many times has not been enough since a considerable road network is not paved and the paved ones demand a constant maintenance that is often ineffective, and the concessions that are toll roads greatly increase the final value on the freight that will be amortized in the value of the load that will be absorbed by the final consumer at the time of purchase. During the Sarney government (1985-1990), the implementation of the north-south railroad began, which would link the city of Rio Grande to Açailândia Maranhão, but 37 years later only a few stretches were completed, making this another unfeasible modal. Air transport consists only in the structuring of an airport as well as its facilities and accesses, solely because the plane uses the atmosphere as a means of locomotion, an atmosphere that is already prepared for the future and would easily absorb a potential increase in air traffic. if the demand and users of the system increased. As a result, an expressive increase in the number of aeronautical workers would be necessary. The methodology used was of a basic nature with a qualitative approach.
