Abstract
This paper considers the problem of determining the optimal location of an industrial airport in Brazil, a special approach custom entrepot. The methodology applied is the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), widely utilized in the area of discrete multicriteria decision making, that obtain numerical values from verbal judgments. Firstly, the concept of industrial airport is presented. Then, the AHP is described. The methodology is applied considering three criteria and four possible locations. After the optimal location is proposed, the results are analyzed and a new research with a wider approach is proposed.
