The activities of these companies are concentrated in the main airports of Brazil, especially in the fixed airports located in the Concentrated Region of the country. The territorial configuration of flights is a trend that comes from the performance of the old company Varig Brazilian Airlines, which centralized its flights in the main hubs of Brazil, starting from a regional base until becoming recognized worldwide before going bankrupt, causing the shrinkage of its air network and defining an end point in its expansion. Today, it is observed that there is a new logic of capital that has redefined this flights aerial topology with a distribution from the airports located in the Concentrated Region of the country. There is a territorial rearticulation, based on a relative decentralization of the national connections in a process of valorization of the regional scale, like the company Azul Brazilian Airlines, that increased exponentially the service of air transport in those places where there was an underutilized demand.

Discutir as estratégias empresariais no setor de transporte aéreo brasileiro requer considerar a atuação das principais empresas do mercado: Latam, Gol, Avianca e Azul. Suas atuações estão concentradas nos principais aeroportos do país, sobretudo nos fixos aeroportuários localizados na Região Concentrada. Essa configuração territorial dos voos se constitui em uma tendência que vem desde a atuação da companhia Varig que centralizava seus voos nos principais hubs do Brasil, passando de uma base regional a ser reconhecida mundialmente antes de entrar em falência, ponto final da expansão e encolhimento de sua rede aérea. Hoje, o que temos observado é que há uma nova lógica do capital que tem redefinido esta topologia aérea dos voos com distribuição a partir dos aeroportos localizados na Região Concentrada do país. Nota-se uma rearticulação territorial, a partir de uma relativa descentralização das ligações nacionais num processo de valorização da escala regional, a exemplo da companhia Azul, que aumentou exponencialmente o serviço aéreo onde verificou uma ociosidade da demanda. Desse modo, este artigo objetiva, a partir de uma abordagem histórico-geográfica, analisar e discutir o setor aéreo brasileiro como forma de verificar de que modo a estratégia articula a dinâmica do capital à um poder territorial.

Discussing the business strategies in the Brazilian air transport sector requires an analysis about the performance of the main companies in this market: Latam Airlines, Gol Airlines, Avianca Brazil and Azul Brazilian Airlines. The activities of these companies are concentrated in the main airports of Brazil, especially in the fixed airports located in the Concentrated Region of the country. The territorial configuration of flights is a trend that comes from the performance of the old company Varig Brazilian Airlines, which centralized its flights in the main hubs of Brazil, starting from a regional base until becoming recognized worldwide before going bankrupt, causing the shrinkage of its air network and defining an end point in its expansion. Today, it is observed that there is a new logic of capital that has redefined this flights aerial topology with a distribution from the airports located in the Concentrated Region of the country.
