Costs
In a statement, the agency points out that the increase observed in 2012 occurred at a time when rising costs impact the airline industry and the industry that led to the implementation of adjustments in the structure of service provision and rates against the adverse scenario.
According to ANAC, this scenario was characterized by a number of factors, including the slowing economy and the demand for air transport, the high price of oil and the appreciation of the dollar against the real - that directly impact the fuel costs, leasing, maintenance and aircraft insurance.
- These costs accounted for more than half of total costs and expenses of flight industry in 2012.
According to ANAC, in view of the negative financial results presented by the sector since 2011, the adjustments of supply and tariffs that have been conducted by the industry itself represent an adaptation to the new environment, aiming to restore profitability and ensure continuity and security services.
