A satisfação do passageiro em aeroportos é tema de grande importância para a comunidade científica e para o operador, dado que o usuário se trata de um importante cliente ao aeroporto. Observa-se, na literatura nacional e internacional, uma tendência em analisar a satisfação do usuário. Porém, é detectada uma lacuna no que diz respeito aos estudos que avaliam a eficiência aeroportuária com inserções de variáveis de percepção da satisfação do passageiro. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do artigo é avaliar a eficiência de 15 relevantes aeroportos brasileiros por meio do método da Análise Envoltória de Dados. O modelo permite analisar diferentes variáveis, sendo a satisfação dos usuários uma dessas variáveis (output). Mediante o modelo DEA-BCC, nota-se que 46,66% dos aeroportos avaliados apresentaram eficiência máxima relativa no ano de 2016, para os requisitos de análise.
COVID-19 is currently considered one of the greatest threats to health, safety, and the economy worldwide. An intense movement of international passengers may be critical for either the contingency or the spread of disease in a pandemic situation. Various research on international and national epidemics and their evolution have already been addressed in the medical literature. However, there are few studies to measure the influence of air transport on the proliferation of COVID-19 in Brazil yet. Thus, this article aims to verify if the movement of international air passengers influenced the COVID-19 spreading in Brazil.
Therefore, air traffic and its concentration were analyzed, trying to identify its main entrances and volume of passengers. Afer that, statistical regression methods were used to estimate how passengers coming from countries contaminated by COVID-19 influenced the spread of the disease in Brazil. As a main result, it was found that foreign passengers disembarked in Brazil are directly related to the cases of COVID-19 in the country, making air transport a gateway to the virus in Brazil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
