The experience of developed countries shows that airport managers seek to increase their profitability, while regulatory agencies aim to guarantee quality, investments and fair charges. This study presents an application of the Tornqvist Index and the markup pricing method to find the market price opportunity for airfares and one of the specific objectives is to present a methodology for comparing the financial results of airports based on ANAC Resolution No. 350/14, which allows a 100% increase in aeronautical charges concerning the tariff ceiling. To predict passenger demand with new airport fares, the least-squares method was used based on empirical equations and the concept of elasticity. The scenario used was the Campinas / Viracopos Airport from January 2014 to March 2017. The results showed that it is possible to increase the price of the domestic aeronautical charges and the revenue from the airport, with the counterpoint of falling demand. This method, based on cost and market opportunity, but on which the financial statement should be audited, is shown to be promising to increase airport revenue.
