Abstract
Increasing competition demands more competitiveness from companies and constant and accurate information about competitors and the market place. This requires the development of performance evaluation methods. Although airport cargo revenues are larger than airport passenger’s, no survey has provided a detailed study on competitive performance factors of air cargo players in Brazil. This paper has surveyed major airlines operating in Brazil and major air cargo dispatchers (domestic and international). The results of this work are directly useful to INFRAERO, to the airlines and to the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), in order to suggest improvements in the efficiency of the air sector.
Keywords: competitive performance; assessment of logistical performance; air cargo players
