Abstract
This article establishes a relationship between the required capacity for the forecast demand to 2015 and the installed capacity of the twenty largest Brazilian airports. This capacity was estimated using current available techniques in the literature. These techniques are been used for organizations involved with the planning and operation of the airports. The studied airports were the largest ones with respect of the movements of passengers in Brazil. For the analyzed airports, the following factors were taken into consideration: runway system, apron system and the passenger terminal building complex. This analysis is focused on the areas where INFRAERO is planning expansion works or planning phases. The observed results show us mainly a critical situation to the passenger terminal buildings system.
