Gestão e segurança aeroportuária no Brasil: deficiências de uma visão limitada

Abstract

The national airline sector is considered one of the main and most profitable sectors of the Brazilian economy, since it contributes with a large part of the economic production, by boosting tourist and commercial activities, in addition to contributing to the generation of thousands of jobs. However, there is a lack when it comes to performance indicators regarding airport infrastructure. In view of this, this work aims to understand the national airport management regarding security, the creation of hypotheses and decision-making. Thus, it proposes an investigative study, of a basic nature, to obtain new knowledge, with a qualitative approach, about Brazilian airport management, regarding security against illicit acts that can happen inside and outside the planes, as in airports. The results indicate that there is limited administrative vision in the airport environment, which often reduces the airport to just a commercial point and building security. This indicates the need to develop a broader, more transparent and logistically communicative management, which presents greater administrative control and technological development, such as investments in IT for data protection and the efficiency of the airport as a whole, in addition to the implementation of a system of specific management for the airport sector, in order to cover all the complexity of this scenario, such as compliance programs, which make it more autonomous and overcome its weaknesses.
