Abstract

This paper presents an assessment of the resilience of the Brazilian air transport network based on the assumption of a complete interruption of the operations of the Brasília International Airport, a geographically central airport and one with high criticality in the system. The analysis is done from a method originally created to assess the vulnerability of air transport networks, and uses concepts of transportation resilience as its theoretical base and the software R as its main tool. The method comprehends a topological analysis of the network, the measurement of the potential impacts caused to the network by the interruption and the analysis and understandings of the result. With the application of the method, it was verified that the topological organization of the Brazilian air network is mostly hub-spoke, which causes low resilience levels. Additionally, it is stated an average reduction of 8,29% in the parameters of the disturbed network, that expose the criticality of the airport and justify the measures taken to keep its continuous operations. There is a necessity of keeping critical systems operating continuously, to minimize its interruptions and keep its good functioning. Thus, the study of resilience can be used as a tool to identify the most critical points of a system, making it possible to foresee and prevent the impacts that an interruption of one of those points can bring to the system as a whole.
